“3”) to the printer telling it that this is the

 

 

end of the message.

THE PRINT AREA

The maximum print area for the various CT Series printers is listed in Table 4.1, Print Area. Most of your label applications will not require labels that fill the entire print area. To make label design simplier, the media on the CT Series printers is center justified, i.e. the label is always centered on the print head. An <ESC>A1 Media Size command is then used to specify the length and width of the label. The CT printer uses this information to automatically calculate an “offset” that will move the Horizontal Reference point to coincide with the first printable dot position on the specified label. It is extremely important to use the Media Size command. If you do not, you will have to manually calculate the offset and send it to the printer using the <ESC>A3 Base Reference Point command.

The diagram below illustrates the maximum print area and a sample 2 inch wide by 3 inch long label placed within this area. As can be seen, your label will be oriented in the middle of the print head as viewed from the front of the printer. The normal
