Testfeed

In the setup string examples,
a double-headed arrow (as in
"CHAR LENGTH") indicates
a mandatory space characters
in the command line.
Quotation marks (" ") are ASCII
34 dec.

The label length is defi ned as the distance between gaps, detection
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 SIZE,LENGTH,<length in dots>"
The default value is 1200 dots (150 mm/5.9 inches.)
