Monarch 9403 F i n i n g t h e P r i n t C o n t r o l P a c k e t, 12Configuring the Printer

You can not change the supply position while the printer is active. Changing the supply position will affect the print position, dispense position, and backfeed distance. Once the supply position is set, use the print control packet and backfeed control packet to adjust printing and the dispense position.

B6. cut_posn -300to 300 in 1/203 inch. Use 0 for 9403/9825. Adjusts where the tag is cut. The printer adjusts the cut position according to the black marks on the supply. You may need to adjust for aperture supplies. Increase to move the cut up, decrease to move the cut down.

Example {I,B,0,0,1,10,50 p }
