Section 5. Programming Reference
The Command Code subsection contains a sample label output for each command
code. These samples reflect how the printed information would appear on a five inch
wide label (see illustration). If you want to test any of the sample label outputs and
are using labels less than five inches in width, you will have to adjust the positioning
accordingly so that the printer does not try to print where there is no label.
You must be careful not to print off the label surface as the label provides a heat sink
for the print head elements. Doing so will cause irreparable damage to the head. This
damage is not covered under the print head warranty.
For example, the following illustrates a sample data stream and the resulting label
assuming a five inch wide label on a left-hand model printer:
<ESC>A
<ESC>H0050<ESC>V0100<ESC>L0303<ESC>MSATO
<ESC>H0050<ESC>V0200<ESC>B103100*SATO*
<ESC>Q1<ESC>Z
If you are using a two inch wide label, the entire image may not appear on your label.
By adding the following Base Reference Point command to the second line of the data
