Parameter
Description
X
Paper length (in dots)
Y
Gap length (in dots)
Note:
If the x, y parameters are ignored then the printer will calibrate and determine the paper length
and gap size automatically.
GAPDETECT
Description
This command feeds the paper through the gap sensor in an effort 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 pre-printed logos or texts.

Note:
If the x, y parameters are ignored then the printer will calibrate and determine the paper length
and gap size automatically.
BLINEDETECT
Description
This command feeds the paper through the black mark sensor in an effort 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.

Parameter
Description
x
Paper length (in dots)
y
Gap length (in dots)
Note:
If the x, y parameters are ignored then the printer will calibrate and determine the paper
length and gap/black mark size automatically.
When using this command, the printer will detect the label by the proper sensor type so
please don’t set the command GAP or BLINE in your program.
It is supported in firmware V6.86 EZ or later.
AUTODETECT
Description
This command feeds the paper through the gap/black mark sensor in an effort 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.

BLINE m mm,n mm
Metric system (mm)
BLINE m dot,n dot
Dot measurement
This command has been supported since V6.27 EZ and later firmware.
Parameter
Description
m
The height of black line either in inch or mm
0 ≤ m ≤ 1 (inch), 0 ≤ m ≤ 25.4 (mm)
n
The extra label feeding length
0 ≤ n ≤ label length
0,0
Continuous label
Note:
For metric system, there must be a space between parameter and mm.
When the sensor type is changed from “GAP” to “Black Mark”, please send the “BLINE”
command to the printer first.
200 DPI : 1 mm = 8 dots
300 DPI : 1mm = 12 dots
Sample Code
English system (inch):
BLINE 0.20,0.50

Dot measurement
This command has been supported since V6.27 EZ and later firmware.
Parameter
Description
m
The offset distance (inch or mm)
-1 ≤ m ≤ 1 (inch)
CAUTION:
Impropriety offset value may cause paper jam.
For metric system, there must be a space between parameter and mm.
200 DPI : 1 mm = 8 dots
300 DPI : 1mm = 12 dots
Sample Code
English system (inch):
OFFSET 0.5
Metric system (mm):
OFFSET 12.7 mm
OFFSET
Description
This command defines 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.
