Mobile Printer CPCLProgramming Manual A-15
These FAQ’s are in no particular order. They cover the
most commonly encountered questions asked about our
portable printers.
Q. The first label I print is fine, but the next one starts
printing not as close to the top of the label form,
then sometimes skips a label, then prints a good
label.
A. Make sure that you only have one carriage return/
line feed pair after the PRINT statement in your
label. If there is more than one CR/LF pair, the
printer prints the label, then sees the extra CR/LF
pairs as data to be printed in line print mode. This
advance causes the next label to be registered
incorrectly when a new label file is sent.
Q. I send a label to the printer, and the label begins
to print. Before all of the label is printed, there is a
feed to the next label. This happens for 2 attempts
before the printer stops.
A. Make sure that the label length specified in your
command line is shorter than the distance between
your eye sense marks on the label stock. If you are
asking to print, say a 400 dot long label and the
label stock eye sense marks are 300 dots apart, the
printer ‘sees’ an eye sense mark before the entire
label has printed and assumes the label stock was
not at top of form. It then feeds to the next top of
form and tries again. After 2 tries, the printer ad-
vances to the next top of form and stops.
Q. When I send a label to the printer , the label file
gets printed, and not the label itself.
