Chapter 4 — ESim Commands
Remarks: The reference point command is used to establish top and left
108
margins to prevent printing off the edge of the label. A minimum
margin of 1 mm should be used on all sides of the label.
Repeated printing outside the edge of the media can
cause excessive printhead wear.
For narrow labels, the R command could be substituted by q and r
commands, which have the benefit of making better use of a limited
image buffer. Any R command after a q command resets the width to
the maximum print width, as a q832 command. The values for the
latest R command (or r, whichever was last executed) are printed on
the test label.
The print direction commands ZB, and ZT affect the location of the
reference point, as illustrated below.
