Chapter 4 — ESim Commands
ESim for the PC4 and PF8 Printers Programmer’s Reference Manual 107
Remarks: The q command causes 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.
The q command also automatically sets the margins according to the
following rule:
(Number of dots on printhead - label width in
dots) / 2 (center-aligned)
Example:
This example sets the label width to 416 dots.

R - Set Reference Point
Purpose: Use this command to move the reference point for the X and Y axis.
All horizontal and vertical measurements in other commands use the
setting for R as the origin for measurements.
Syntax: Rp

.
Note: If an R command (reference point) is sent after a q
command, the image buffer is automatically reformatted to
match the width of the printhead and the margins are reset
accordingly.
Note: At 300 dpi, a maximum label of 1248 dots can be set.
However, the print image is not aligned at the center, and the
data in the outer margins (beyond q1232) is lost.
