Q – Set Form Length (gap or slot)
Description This command is used to set the form and gap length when using
the label gap sensor, or the amount of media feed after the print
image in case of continuous stock.
Syntax Qp
1
,p
2
[±p
3
]
Parameters p
1
Form length measured in dots.
203.2 dpi (8 dots/mm):
Default: 1200 dots
Maximum (w/o memory cartridge): 3780 dots at full print width
Maximum (w 256K SRAM cartridge): 6258 dots at full print width
300 dpi (11.81 dots/mm):
Default: 1200 dots
Maximum (w/o memory cartridge): 2640 dots at full print width
Maximum (w 256K SRAM cartridge): 4364 dots at full print width
p
2
Gap length measured in dots.
Default: 24 dots at at 203.2 dpi (8 dots/mm)
24 dots at at 300 dpi (11.81 dots/mm)
±p
3
Optional off set length measured in dots.
Remarks Gaps and slots:
The EasyCoder C4 has a label gap sensor designed to detect the
top of each form. It does this by looking either
• through the semi-transparent liner in the gap between labels,
• or through a hole in the media.
The sensor is located slightly to the right in relation to the center
of the media path (as seen from the printer’s front). Refer to
the EasyCoder C4, User’s Guide for specifi cations of the size and
location of detection slots.
When entering the Dump Mode (see Chapter 1), or when
printing a form for the fi rst time after power-up using the
Windows Driver, the printer automatically determines the Q
value while feeding a couple of labels. The current Q value
is printed on the test label and the label produced by a U
command.
Continuous stock:
In case of continuous stock, parameter p
1
decides the amount
of media feed performed after the actual print image has been
printed. Continuous stock is selected by setting parameter p
2
= 0.
Be careful not having the printer loaded with continuous stock
when entering the Dump Mode or an error will occur.
