Q – Set Form Length (gap or slot)
Description Th is command is used to set the form and gap length when using
the label gap sensor, or the amount of media feed after the print
image in case of continuous stock.

Remarks Gaps and slots:
Th e EasyCoder C4 has a label gap sensor designed to detect the
top of each form. It does this by looking either
• through the semi-transparent liner in the gap between labels,
• or through a hole in the media.
Th e sensor is located slightly to the right in relation to the center
of the media path (as seen from the printer's front). Refer to the
EasyCoder C4, User's Guide for specifi cations of the size and loca-
tion of detection slots.
When entering the Dump Mode (see Chapter 1), or when print-
ing a form for the fi rst time after power-up using the Windows
Driver, the printer automatically determines the Q value while
feeding a couple of labels. Th e current Q value is printed on the
test label and the label produced by a U command.
Continuous stock:
In case of continuous stock, parameter p
of media feed performed after the actual print image has been
printed. Continuous stock is selected by setting parameter p
Be careful not having the printer loaded with continuous stock
when entering the Dump Mode or an error will occur.
