SATO M-5900RV Operator and Technical Reference Manual
Page 4-8
Section 4. Programming Reference
PN 9001081
Rev. C
The Command Code subsection contains a sample label output for each command
code. These samples reflect how the printed information would appear on a five
inch wide label. If you want to test any of the sample label outputs and are using
labels less than five inches in width, we suggest that you add the Base Reference
Point command to the data stream in order for the images to print on your labels.
You must be careful not to print off the label surface as the label provides a heat
sink for the print head elements. Doing so will cause irreparable damage to the
head. This damage is not covered under the print head warranty. The addition of
the Base Reference Point command to the sample data stream may help to adjust
the print for your labels. See the following two examples or refer to the Base
Reference Point command description.
For example, the following illustrates a sample data stream for a M-5900RV
printer and the resulting label assuming a 4 inch wide label:
<ESC>A
<ESC>H0185<ESC>V0100<ESC>L0303<ESC>XMSATO
<ESC>H0164<ESC>V0200<ESC>B103100*SATO*
<ESC>H0280<ESC>V0310<ESC>L0202<ESC>XUSATO
<ESC>Q1
<ESC>Z
If you are using a 2 inch wide label, the entire image may not appear on your
label. By adding the following Base Reference Point command to the second line
of the data stream, the base reference point will be changed, causing the image to
be shifted over toward the inside of the printer where it can be printed on the
narrower label.
<ESC>A
<ESC>A3H406V0001
