2-8 Packet Reference Manual
B5. supply_posn Supply Position. Range: -300 to 300 in 1/203 inch. 0 is the default.
Adjusts the machine to print at the vertical 0,0 point on the supply.
This adjustment accounts for mechanical tolerances from machine to
machine. The supply position adjustment only needs to be made on the
initial machine setup. Adjust the supply position if formats do not start
at the 0,0 point on the supply. Increase the supply position to move
print up, decrease to move print down on the label. To verify the 0,0
point, print a test label. See “Printing a Test Label” in Chapter 8 for
more information.
You can not change the supply position while the printer is active.
Changing the supply position effects the print position, dispense
position, and backfeed distance. Once the supply position is set, use
the print control packet and backfeed control packet to adjust printing
and the dispense position.
B6. cut_posn Cut position. Range: -99 to 99 in 1/203 inch. 0 is the default. Adjusts
where the tag is cut. The printer adjusts the cut position according to
the black marks on the supply. You may need to adjust for aperture
supplies. Increase to move the cut up, decrease to move the cut down.
Note: We do not recommend setting a positive cut position for any supply while
using extended backfeed. You may cut off the leading edge of the next
tag.
B7. skip_index Skip index mode. 0 is the default. Options:
0 Disable skip index mode (default)
1 Enable skip index mode. Allows the printer to skip (ignore) a
sense mark and print an image over multiple labels.
Example {I,B,0,0,1,10,0,1 | }
Indicates black mark and thermal direct stock has been loaded, causes the printer to operate in
on-demand mode, feeds the supply approximately .05 inches up before printing the format on
each label (10/203 inches), does not set a cut position, and enables skip index mode.
