SIZE m,n

English system (inch)

SIZE m mm,n mm

Metric system (mm)

SIZE m dot,n dot

Dot measurement This command has been supported since V6.27 EZ and later firmware.

Parameter

Description

M

Label width (inch/ mm/ dot)

N

Label length (inch/ mm/ dot)

Note :

 200 DPI : 1 mm = 8 dots

300 DPI : 1mm = 12 dots

 For metric and dot systems, there must be a space between parameter and “mm” or “dot”.

Sample Code

 English system (inch):

SIZE 3.5,3.00

 Metric system (mm):

SIZE 100 mm,100 mm

Result

Setup and System Commands

 SIZE

Description

This command defines the label width and length.

Syntax

Example

 GAP

Description

Defines the gap distance between two labels.

Syntax

Sample Code

Result

Normal gap

 English system (inch):

GAP 0.12,0

 Metric system (mm):

GAP 3 mm,0 mm

 Continuous label:

GAP 0,0

Normal gap

Special gap

 English system (inch)

GAP 0.30,0.10

 Metric system (mm)

GAP 7.62 mm,2.54 mm

Special gap

Example

See Also

SIZE, BLINE

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.

Syntax

GAPDETECT [x,y]

See Also

GAP, SIZE, BLINEDETECT, AUTODETECT

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.

 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.

Syntax

BLINEDETECT [x,y]

See Also

GAP, SIZE, GAPDETECT, AUTODETECT

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.

-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

 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.
