VARIABLE NO_MEDIA
Function
Specifies how long the printer will run without
detecting a label before assuming that it is out of
media. This only applies to gap indexing mode.
Explicit Form
Implicit Form
VARIABLE NO_MEDIA nn
V NO_MEDIA nn
Parameters
nn
Number of label inches that the printer
will try to feed before assuming it is out
of media. Allowable values are 0 to 12,
with a default of 1.
A value of 0 disables this feature.
A ? returns the current setting status.
Comments
When using this command, send it to the printer
with VARIABLE WRITE in a non-printing label
format. Do not use this command in stored label
formats.
This feature works by measuring label gap length.
If the printer detects a gap that is longer than nn, it
assumes that there are no more labels and stops
feeding. You will need to change this setting if your
label media has gaps greater than 1".
The printer always assumes it is empty if it does not
detect a label after feeding 12" of media, regardless
of the VARIABLE NO_MEDIA setting. (In black bar
mode, the printer always stops running after
feeding 12" of media without detecting an index
mark.)
