D e 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

Use the print control packet (C) to set the contrast, print, and margin adjustment, print speed, and printhead width.

Syntax	{I,C,contrast,print_adj,margin_adjust,
	speed_adj,ph_width p }
C1. C	Print Control Packet
C2. contrast	-28- 40. 0 is the default. You may need to adjust this value
	depending on the type of supplies you are using. For
	example, linerless supplies require a higher print contrast, but
	receipt paper requires less contrast.
C3. print_adj	-99- 99 in 1/203 inch. 0 is the default. Adjusts where data
	prints vertically on the supply. Increase the print position to
	move print up, decrease to move print down.
C4. margin_adj	-99- 99 in 1/203 inch. 0 is the default. Adjusts where data
	prints horizontally on the supply. Increase the margin position
	to move print to the right, decrease to move print to the left.
	Margin and print position are format adjustments. They will
	not affect the supply position, dispense position, or backfeed
	distance.

C5. speed_adj Print Speed. Options:

0The printer determines the print speed automatically. This is the default.

15Uses a print speed of 1.5 ips. This is the only valid speed for serial bar codes. If the speed is set

differently and then the printer tries to print serial bar code, the printer changes to this speed. You can also use it for

parallel bar codes.

20Uses a print speed of 2.0 ips.

30Uses a print speed of 3.0 ips.

C6. ph_width Width of the printhead in dots. Use 0.

Example {I,C,0,-20,-10,0,0 p }

Uses the default contrast, moves print 0.1 inch closer to the bottom of the supply (20/203 inches) and .05 inch to the left on the supply (10/203 inches), the printer determines the print speed, and uses the default printhead width.
