Use the supply setup packet (B) to select supply type, ribbon, feed mode, supply position, and cut position.

Syntax {I,B,supply_type,ribbon_on,feed_mode, supply_posn p}

B1. B

Supply Setup Packet

B2. supply_type Supply Type. Options:

0Black mark supply

1Die Cut supply (default)

2 Non-indexed supply

NOTE: You may need to adjust the print contrast (in the Print

Control packet), based on your type of supply.

B3. ribbon_on Ribbon. The printer automatically senses if a ribbon is installed and switches to thermal transfer mode. Options:

0Ribbon not installed (thermal direct)

1 Ribbon installed (thermal transfer)

NOTE: If "ribbon installed" is sent to the printer, but no ribbon is installed, an error occurs. If "ribbon not installed" is sent to the printer, but a ribbon is installed, no error occurs.

B4. feed_mode Feed Mode. Options:

0Continuous operation (default)

1 On-demand mode

B5. supply_posn -300- 300 in 1/203 inch. 0 is the default. Adjusts the machine to print at the vertical 0,0 point on the supply. This adjustment accounts for mechanical tolerances. The supply position adjustment only needs to be made on the initial machine setup. Increase the supply position to move print up, decrease to move print down on the label. You can not change the supply position while the printer is active. Changing the supply position affects the print position. Once the supply position is set, use the print control packet to adjust the print position.

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

Indicates black mark and thermal direct stock has been loaded, causes the printer to operate in on-demand mode, and feeds the supply approximately .05 inches up before printing the format on each label (10/203 inches).
