Printer Configuration
Present Distance
Possible Values: 0.0000”* …1.2911”
Present Distance 0.0000”
This feature sets the distance the paper is moved forward after the black mark is sensed. When the black mark is sensed, the paper will be fed forward by this amount to allow for tearing or peeling of a label. When the next print job begins, the paper will be reverse fed this same amount before printing begins.
When the Tear to Mark Distance is a negative value, this is typically set to the inverse of that value.
