3-4
Unitsfor position and length
The print positions may be specified in either inch or metric system.
Switching between the two systems isa ccomplishedthrough software.
The print positionscan be freely designated within the maximum labelsize,
regardless of which systemyou use.
Inch system
Basic unit(point): 0.01 in (0.254 mm)
The position of each row address (in the direction of main scanning) and
column address (in the directionof subscanning) is designated in 0.01-inch
units. In the case ofthe 203 dpi head, if the print position changes by 1 point,
it will change by 2 dots.
1 point = 0.01 in = 2dots
100 point = 1.00in = 203 dots
Metricsystem
Basic unit (point): 0.1 mm
The position of each row address and column address is designated in
0.1-mm units. Since there is a slight difference between the main and
subscanning density and the point value, the nearest dot number to the
designated address isselected in one dot (0.125 mm) units.
1 point = 0.1 mm = 1 dot
100 point = 10.0 mm = 80 dots
The basic unit iscommon to all label format and system-level commands.
The label format commands are used to specify the position, length,
whole-screen offset, etc. The system-level commands are used to
specify the maximum paper length, home-position offset, etc.
