Stx M Set Maximum Label Length; Stx M Set Printer To Metric Mode; Stx N Set Printer To Imperial Mode - Datamax E-Class Mark II Programmer's Manual

STX M Set Maximum Label Length
This command instructs the printer move media this distance in search of the top-of-
form (label edge, notch, black mark, etc.) before declaring a paper fault. A paper fault
condition can occur if this setting is too close (within 0.1 inch [2.54 mm]) to the physical
length of the label. Therefore, it is a good practice to set this command to 2.5 to 3 times
the actual label length used. The minimum value should be at least 5" (127 mm).
