Set Quantity Of Labels To Print; Set Row Offset Amount - Datamax E-Class Mark II Programmer's Manual

Q

Set Quantity of Labels to Print

This command sets the number of the label copies to be printed. A one to five digit value
is allowed, if the command is delimited by a carriage return <CR>. This permits host
applications to generate label quantity commands without the need to pad leading zeros.
(A four-digit command value does not need to be <CR> terminated.)
Syntax:
Where:
Sample:

Specifying 9999 as the four-digit quantity results in continuous printing.
R

Set Row Offset Amount

This command allows vertical adjustment of the point where printing begins. The printer
is instructed to print label formats nnnn units above the position that the format
specifies. This feature is useful when a single format is to be printed on labels containing
preprinted information.
Syntax:
Where:
Sample:
•
If using preprinted labels where the placement of the preprint data varies from label

to label, the printed information may overlap the preprinted data.
•
If printing near the TOF is important (i.e., on very small labels or in very tight
formats), it may be necessary to use the ROW ADJUST setting to shift the vertical
start of print position in the negative direction.
