Datamax-O’Neil Quick Reference Programming

STOPnnn

Stop Global Option

Format

STOPnnn

(1

Function

Advances the paper to the proper point for tearing. This option stops the

paper nnn dotlines (.005”/dotline or 200 dotlines/inch) after the

beginning of the label or receipt. The data nnn is sent after the STOP

option specifies the total number of dotlines high for the image. For

example, for the microFlash series of printers (which have a 203dpi

mechanism), specifying STOP500 gives a 2.5" total height image from the

top of the paper to where it stops under the printhead.

If the paper has advanced nnn dotlines and the printed part of the image

is not yet complete, the image is truncated. If the printed part of the

image is complete, white space is added to the bottom until nnn dotlines

have advanced. The value of nnn ranges from 1 to 65,535 dotlines.

The STOP option can also be used with the QSTOP option. Specify the

STOP to stop the printing just after the stop using the QSTOP option. This

ensures the paper stops advancing whether paper with Q marks is loaded,

or regular paper is loaded.

Example

{PRINT,STOP500,QSTOP125

:@10,30:MF107|Hi world|

}

In this example, the paper stops advancing when it has advanced 500

dotlines, or 125 dotlines after the Q mark is detected, whichever occurs

first.

COLx y
Format

COLx y

Function

Creates a variable COLx (where 0<=x<=9) with the value of y (y may

have any legal value). Whenever COLx is specified in a field (e.g. @ROW,

COLx), the COLx is replaced with the value given in y.
