Configuration Syntax Guidelines; Making Print Adjustments; Defining The System Setup Packet - Avery Dennison ADTP1 Reference Manual

Configuration S yntax Guidelines
When creating a printer configuration packet:
♦ Follow the Standard Syntax Guidelines listed at the beginning of this manual.
♦ The first character after the start of header ({) is the configuration header (I).
♦ Download multiple configuration packets within one packet or download a single configuration
packet.
♦ If changing any of the online configuration packets, resend the format packet to the printer, so
the configuration changes take effect.
♦ Include the first five ANSI codes, at a minimum, in the control characters packet.
♦ Send configuration packets once per session (each time the printer is turned off and then back
on), not with every format or batch packet.
♦ The printer uses the settings from the printer configuration packets until a new configuration
packet is sent; or a setting is adjusted through the printer's menu.

Horizontal and vertical adjustments can be made by adjusting the supply, print, or margin
positions. However, keep in mind the following:
♦ Supply adjustments across the width of the supply, such as the margin position, are based in
dots- either 203 dpi or 300 dpi, depending on the printhead density.
♦ Supply adjustments for the length of the supply, such as supply position or print adjustment,
are always measured in 1/203 of an inch, regardless of the printhead density.

between batches, print a slashed zero, and select the symbol set.
