The length of the scan profile printed is proportional to the Beam Width setting (page 69)
and depends on the Profile H Mag setting (page 65).
The scan profile will print either a 1.5 inch wide or a 3 inch wide graph depending on the
Label Width setting (in the MEDIA CONTROL menu). (Label widths less than 4 inches
print the smaller 1.5 inch wide profile.)
Printing is done in continuous mode without taking into account media gap/marks.
NOTE:
The following figure shows a sample scan profile graph. It only shows the profile of
actual bar code data. The dashed lines represent the 90% and 10% marks. You can use
these to help set the gain and offset (if necessary).

Use continuous media or else the scan profile may distort at the media
gap/marks.
