GAP command to the printer first.
5.2 GAP
Description
Define the gap distance between two labels.
Syntax
0 ≤ m ≤1 (inch), 0 ≤ m ≤ 25.4 (mm)
Note :
203 dpi : 1 mm = 8 dots
300 dpi : 1 mm = 12 dots
600 dpi : 1 mm = 24 dots
For metric and dot systems, make sure you add a space between parameter and mm.

5.3 GAPDETECT
Description
Feed the paper through the gap sensor to determine the paper and gap sizes, respectively. This command
references the user’s approximate measurements. If the measurements conflict with the actual size, the
GAPDETECT command will not work properly. This calibration method can be applied to the labels with preprinted logos or texts.
Syntax
GAPDETECT [x,y]
Note:
If the x, y parameters are ignored then the printer will calibrate and determine the paper length and gap
size automatically.

Parameter
Description
x
Paper length (in dots)
y
Gap length (in dots)
5.4 BLINEDETECT
Description
Feed the paper through the black mark sensor to determine the paper and black mark sizes, respectively.
This command references the user’s approximate measurements. If the measurements conflict with the
actual size, the BLINEDETECT command will not work properly. This calibration method can be applied to
the labels with pre-printed logos or texts.
Syntax
BLINEDETECT [x,y]
Note:
If the x, y parameters are ignored then the printer will calibrate and determine the paper length and gap
size automatically.
See Also

Parameter
Description
x
Paper length (in dots)
y
Gap length (in dots)
5.5 AUTODETECT
Description
Feed the paper through the gap/black mark sensor to determine the paper and gap/black mark sizes,
respectively. This command references the user’s approximate measurements. If the measurements conflict
with the actual size, the AUTODETECT command will not work properly. This calibration method can be
applied to the labels with pre-printed logos or texts.
Syntax
AUTODETECT [x,y]
Note:
If the x, y parameters are ignored then the printer will calibrate and determine the paper
length and gap/black mark size automatically.
The printer will detect the label by the proper sensor type. When using this command, make
sure GAP or BLINE command are not used in your program.

5.6 BLINE
Description
Set the height of the black line and the user-defined extra label feeding length each form feed takes.
Syntax
0 ≤ m ≤ 1 (inch), 0 ≤ m ≤ 25.4 (mm)
Note:
For metric system, make sure you add a space between parameter and mm.
When the sensor type is changed from "GAP" to "Black Mark", make sure you send the
GAP command to the printer first.
203 dpi : 1 mm = 8 dots
300 dpi : 1 mm = 12 dots

Parameter
Description
m
The offset distance (inch or mm)
600 dpi : 1 mm = 24 dots
Sample Code
5.7 OFFSET
Description
Define the selective, extra label feeding length each form feed takes, which, especially in peel-off mode and
cutter mode, is used to adjust label stop position, so as for label to register at proper places for the intended
purposes. The printer back tracks the extra feeding length before the next run of printing.
Syntax
-1 ≤ m ≤ 1 (inch)
Note:
If offset value is incorrect, it may create a paper jam.
For metric system, make sure you add a space between parameter and mm.
