PRINT PARAMETERS COMMANDS

Q

Set Form Length

1
/. The paper feed controlled by the Q
command is slightly less than 8 dots/mm.
There is also a small margin at the rear
edge of the label, see R command. There-
fore, if you want to print from the upper
edge of the label in direction ZB, you may
need to increase the label length in the Q
command.
Used for: Global Setup & Form Edit Mode (resets Global Setup)
Syntax: Qa,b+c
If gap in media, then:
a = Label length in dots
b = Gap length in dots
+c = Optional, Offset value in dots see Example 2
If continuous paper, then:
a = Form feed in dots after finished printing data
b = 0
+c = Not used
The EasyCoder 71 has a gap sensor. When setting the Q value, it
is important to understand that the gap sensor is located in the
middle of the label path and the label path is centred.
Example 1: Standard Label
a
Qa,b a =
b =
Therefore the command should be: Q160,24
Example 2: Butterfly Labels
DIRECTION
a
Qa,b c a =
b =
+c =
Therefore the command should be: Q100,24+24
