according to the characteristics of the media, for example the transpar-
ency of the liner.
In case of continuous stock, the LSS will only detect possible out-
of-paper conditions and the amount of media feed is decided in two
different ways:
• Fixed length strip
The amount of media feed for each
operation is decided by the "Media Size; Length" setup.
PRINTFEED
• Variable length strip
At the execution of a
media feed after the last printable object to allow the media to be
properly torn off. Note that a blank space character or a "white"
part of an image is also regarded as a printable object. The length of

The Detection setup allows you to perform two global adjustments to
the media feed described above:
• Start Adjust
• Stop Adjust
By default, both these two parameters are set to 0, which allows for
proper tear-off operation when there is no requirement of printing
immediately at the forward edge of the label (or the equivalent).
• Start Adjust decides how much media will be fed out or pulled back
before the

there is a small distance between the tear bar and the printhead. Thus,
if you want to start printing directly at the forward edge of the label,
you must pull back the media before printing by means of a negative
start adjust value.
• Stop Adjust decides how much more or less media will be fed out after
the
FORMFEED
If a instruction is issued without any specifi cation of the feed

use instructions with specifi ed feed length to substitute the
