STX M Set Maximum Label Length
This command instructs the printer move media this distance in search of the top-of-
form (label edge, notch, black mark, etc.) before declaring a paper fault. A paper fault
condition can occur if this setting is too close (within 0.1 inch [2.54 mm]) to the physical
length of the label. Therefore, it is a good practice to set this command to 2.5 to 3 times
the actual label length used. The minimum value should be at least 5” (127 mm).
Syntax:
<STX>Mnnnn
Where:
nnnn -
Is a four-digit length, 0000-9999, in/100 or mm/10.
Maximum setting is 9999 (99.99 inches or 2540
mm). The default setting is 16 inches/ 406.4 mm.
Sample:
<STX>M0500
The sample above sets a maximum travel distance of 5 inches
(unless the printer is in metric mode; see <STX>m).
STX m Set Printer to Metric Mode
This command sets the printer to interpret measurements as metric values (e.g.,
<STX>c0100 will equal 10.0 mm). The default is Imperial (see <STX>n).
Syntax:
<STX>m
STX n Set Printer to Imperial Mode
This command sets the printer to interpret measurements as inch values (e.g.,
<STX>c0100 will equal 1.00 inch), and is the default mode.
Syntax:
<STX>n
