C1. C
Print Control Packet
C2. contrast
Print Contrast. Range: -28 to 40. 0 is the default. You may need to
adjust this value depending on the type of supplies you are using. For
example, linerless supplies require a higher print contrast, but receipt
paper requires less contrast.
C3. print_adj
Print adjustment (position). Range: -99 to 99 in 1/203 inch. 0 is the
default. Adjusts where data prints vertically on the supply. Increase the
print position to move print up, decrease to move print down.
C4. margin_adj
Margin adjustment (position). Range: -99 to 99 in 1/203 inch. 0 is the
default. Adjusts where data prints horizontally on the supply. Increase the
margin position to move print to the right, decrease to move print to the
left. Margin and print position are format adjustments. They will not effect
the supply position, dispense position, or backfeed distance.
C5. speed_adj
Print Speed in inches per second (ips). Options:
0
The printer determines the print speed automatically. This is
the default.
20
Uses a print speed of 2.0 ips. This is the only valid speed for
serial bar codes. If the speed is set differently, the printer
changes to this speed to print serial bar codes.
30
Uses a print speed of 3.0 ips
C6. ph_width
Width of the printhead in dots. Use 0.
Example
{
I,C,0,-20,-10,0,0 p }
Uses the default contrast, moves print 0.1 inch closer to the bottom of the
supply (20/203 inches) and .05 inch to the left on the supply (10/203
inches), the printer determines the print speed, and uses the default
printhead width.
