PE 42; 2 to 10 ips (51 to 254 mm/sec)

PE 43; 2 to 8 ips (51 - 203 mm/sec)

Allows the selection of different rates that the printer will backup labels.

Range is the same for both models.

Changes useable label width, as when printing on media narrower than 4.1 inches; reducing width increases memory for label formatting. Also allows printing of Configuration Labels on narrow media. The printer must be reset for the new value to be recognized.

PE 42; 100 to 410 (1.00 to 4.10 in.) PE 43: 100 to 416 (1.00 to 4.16 in.)

Sets the label’s stop point (Set Form Stop) after printing. This value is independent of the Offset Bias value (Start of Print Position), yet must be greater to have any effect.

At default this function will have no effect on last label positioning.

0.00 to 9.99 inches.
