Label Formatting Command Functions
134 Class Series 2 Programmer’s Manual
Q Set Quantity of Labels to Print
This command sets the number of the label copies to be printed. A one to five digit value
is allowed, if the command is delimited by a carriage return . This permits host
applications to generate label quantity commands without the need to pad leading zeros.
(A four-digit command value does not need to be terminated.)
Syntax: Qnnnnn
Where:
nnnnn
- Is a one to five-digit delimited value setting for the
number of labels to be printed. The default value is
one.
Sample: L
121100000000000Testing
Q0020
E
The sample above will print a batch of 20 identical labels.

Specifying 9999 as the four-digit quantity results in continuous printing.
R Set Row Offset Amount
This command allows vertical adjustment of the point where printing begins. The printer
is instructed to print label formats nnnn units above the position that the format
specifies. This feature is useful when a single format is to be printed on labels containing
preprinted information.
Syntax: Rnnnn
Where:
nnnn
- Is a four-digit number (0000-9999) for the row offset,
in inches/100 or millimeters/10. The default is 0.
Sample:
L
R0037
141100001000100SAMPLE LABEL
E
The sample above prints a label with a row offset amount of .37
inches, unless in metric mode.
 • If using preprinted labels where the placement of the preprint data varies from label
to label, the printed information may overlap the preprinted data.
• If printing near the TOF is important (i.e., on very small labels or in very tight
formats), it may be necessary to use the ROW ADJUST setting to shift the vertical
start of print position in the negative direction.
