~XP99999 630,650,960,6X6,SNAP
This command specifies the pull length of the tag in thousandths of an inch. For
example: If the tag pull length is 4-1/8 inches the command would be ~XP4125.
Note: If the stock that is being printed on has sense marks for print registration then
special care should be taken in determining a tag's pull length. The pull length
of the tag should be determined by measuring from the leading edge of one
sense mark to the leading edge of the next sense mark on a continuous roll of
stock. If the pull length is incorrect, the result may be Missed Sense Mark
errors.
Compatibility Notes:
630 The 630 maximum pull length of a tag is 7000 or 7” (177.8mm). The actual
resolution or smallest increment is 0.0042” (0.206mm)..
650 The 650 maximum pull length of a tag is 14000 or 14” (355.6mm). The actual
resolution or smallest increment is 0.0042” (0.206mm)..
960 The 960 maximum pull length of a tag is 6000 or 6” (152.4mm). The resolution is
0.014” (0.36mm).
636, 656, 676, 545 The maximum pull length of a tag is 14000 or 14” (355.6mm). The
actual resolution or smallest increment is 1/dpi of the printer.
- 240 DPI = 0.0042” (0.206mm)
- 300 DPI = 0.0033” (0.084mm)
- 545 = 0.005” (0.127mm)
SNAP 500, SNAP 600, SNAP 700 – The maximum pull length is 28” (711.2mm). The
actual resolution is 0.0033” (0.084mm).
~XM_9999 630,650,960,6X6,SNAP
This command specifies that the format is a sense mark format. Replace the '_' with an
H if a hole sense mark is used or an R if a Reflective sense mark is used. Specify the
sense to cut distance in thousandths of an inch. The sense to cut distance is measured in
the pull direction from the leading edge of the sense mark to the trailing edge of the tag
as it passes through the printer. For example: A particular tag stock is using a punched
hole as a sense mark. The distance from the leading edge of one hole to the leading
edge of another hole is 4 inches. Therefore the tag pull length is 4 inches. The sense
mark occurs in the middle of what will be the finished tag after it has been printed and
cut. This distance from the leading edge of one hole to where the cut will occur at the
trailing edge of the tag is 2 inches. The sense to cut value is 2 inches. The command
for the printer is ~XMH2000. The H specifies that a punched hole is used for the mark
and the 2000 is the 2 inch sense to cut value sent in thousandths of an inch.
Compatibility Notes:
630, 650 These printers resolution or smallest increment for the sense to cut distance is
33 thousandths.
960 The 960 resolution or smallest increment is 7 thousandths in the web direction and
14 thousandths in the pull direction. The 960 only supports reflective sensing.
6X6, SNAP The actual resolution or smallest increment is 1/dpi of the printer.
Replace the ‘_’ with an H if a hole sense mark is used, an R if reflective sense
mark is used on the bottom, a T if reflective sense mark is used on the top, or a C
for the contrast sensor.
