The label length is defi ned as the distance between gaps, detec-
tion slots, or black marks. Measure the actual distance from the
rear end of a gap or slot to the start of next gap or slot. In
case of black marks, measure the distance between the forward
edges of two adjacent marks and subtract the value expressed in
dots by 16.
By using a TESTFEED command, a blank label is fed out
while the label length is automatically measured and stored in
the printer's fl ash memory, and the sensitivity of the label stop
sensor is adjusted according to the characteristics of the presently
loaded media.
It is recommended to send a TESTFEED command every time
you change to a new label/ticket length or media type!
When using labels/tickets with a length exceeding 24 cm (9.5
inches), the TESTFEED command does not work, so the label
length must be set manually using both of the two following
setup commands.
SETUP "SERVICE,TESTFEED,LENGTH,<length in dots>" ↵
SETUP "SERVICE,MEDIA
The default value is 1200 dots (150 mm/5.9 inches)
