QCommand - Set Form Length

Description Use this command to set the form and gap length or black line thickness when using the transmissive (gap) sensor, black line sensor, or for setting the printer into the continuous media print mode.

The Q command will cause the printer to recal- culate and reformat image buffer.

Syntax Qp1,p2[±p3]

Parameters p1 = Label length measured in dots Default: Set by the AutoSense of media. Maximum Value: 65535 (dots)

·Distance between edges of the label or black line marks.

·For continuous mode, the p1 parameter sets the feed distance between the end of one form and beginning of the next.

p2 = Gap length or thickness of black line Range: 16-240 (dots) for 203 dpi printers

[18-240 (dots) for 300dpi printers]

Gap Mode - By default, the printer is in Gap mode and parameters are set with the media AutoSense.

Black Line Mode - Set p2 to B plus black line thickness in dots. See the Gap mode range.

Continuous Media Mode

Set p2 to 0 (zero)

The transmissive (gap) sensor will be used to detect the end of media.

±p3 =Offset length measured in dots

·Required for black line mode operation.

·Optional for Gap detect or continuous media modes. Use only positive offset values.
