STOP nnn Stop Global Option
Format: STOP nnn ( 1 < nnn < 65000)
Function: Use the STOP option to advance the paper to the proper
point for tearing. This options stops the paper “nnn”
dotlines after the beginning of the label or receipt. The
data “nnn” sent after the STOP option specifies the total
number of dot lines high for this print image. For
example, for the microFlash series, which have a 203 DPI
mechanism, specifying “STOP 500” will give a 2.5” total
height image from the top of the paper to where it has
stopped under the print head.
The STOP option can be used with the QSTOP option.
Set the STOP to stop the printing just after the stop using
the QSTOP option. This way, the paper will always stop
advancing whether paper with “Q” marks is loaded, or
regular paper is loaded.
Example: {PRINT,STOP500,QSTOP125
:@10,30:MF107|Hi world|
}
In this example, the paper will stop advancing when it has
advanced 500 dot lines, or 125 dot lines after the “Q”
mark has been detected, whichever occurs first.
