Description is 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 at 203.2 dpi (8 dots/mm)
1204 at 300 dpi (11.81 dots mm)
Remarks e q command will cause the image buffer to be formatted to
match the label width, that is width is traded off for increased
length within the same memory size.
e q command will also automatically set the margins according
to the following rule:
(No. of dots on printhead - label width in dots)/2 (left-aligned)
Note: If an R command (Reference Point) is sent after a q com-
mand, the image buffer will be automatically reformatted to
match the width of the printhead and the margins will be reset
accordingly.
