Chapter 7 Commands
Description
This command is used to set the label width when using less than full width labels.
Syntax
qp
1
Parameters p
1
Width of label measured in dots. Default: 832.
Remarks
The q command will cause the image buffer (see M command) to be formatted
to match the label width, that is width is traded off for increased length within
the same memory size.
The q command will also automatically set the margins according to the
following rule:
(No. of dots on printhead - label width in dots)/2 (center-aligned)
There are 8 dots per mm and 203.2 dots per inch.
Important!
If an R command (Reference Point) is sent after a q command, the image buffer
will be automatically reformatted to match the width of the printhead and the
margins will be reset accordingly.
Example
q416 ↵ :Sets label width to 416 dots
q – Set Label Width
