The q command also automatically sets the margins according to the
following rule:
(Number of dots on printhead - label width in
dots) / 2 (center-aligned)
Note: If an R command (reference point) is sent after a q
command, the image buffer is automatically reformatted to
match the width of the printhead and the margins are reset
accordingly.
Note: At 300 dpi, a maximum label of 1248 dots can be set.
However, the print image is not aligned at the center, and the
data in the outer margins (beyond q1232) is lost.
Example:
This example sets the label width to 416 dots.
