STX n
Set Printer to Imperial Mode
This command sets the printer to interpret measurements as inch values (e.g.,
will equal 1.00 inch), and is the default mode.
Syntax:
STX O
Set Start of Print (SOP) Position
This command sets the point to begin printing relative to the top-of-form (the label’s
edge as detected by the Media Sensor). The printer will feed from the top-of-form to the
value specified in this command to begin printing.
This value operates independently of the
D-O recommend not using the row adjust feature instead of this command. This is a
legacy command.
Syntax:
Where:
nnnn
-
Is a four-digit offset value in inches/100 or mm/10.
The “zero” setting is the default value, and settings
below 50 are adjusted back to the default value.
The default setting is “Off” and the printer assumes
the natural SOP position.
Sample:
The sample above will begin printing 0.1 inch closer to the leading
edge of the label if the 220 (Allegro) SOP Emulation was selected,
or 1.0 inch farther away from the leading edge if 110 (ProdPlus)
SOP Emulation was selected.
STX o
Cycle Cutter
