Continuous Forms Printing
Command Structure

The printer locates the end of an adhesive label by sensing the backing between
labels or through the use of an eye-mark (black rectangle on the reverse side of the
backing). It locates the end of a tag from a notch, eye-mark, or a hole between
tags. Both sensors should be disabled when printing continouus forms by placing
the Label Sensor Selection switch (DSW3-3) in the On position. See Section 2:
Installation and Configuration for instructions on configuring the printer using the
front panel DIP switch array.
If you will be using continuous labels or tags, the printer must be told to stop
feeding in another manner. The length is determined by the position of the last
printed image on the label or tag. The printer will stop feeding when this last field is
finished printing. The length may be increased with printed spaces (20
hexadecimal) if necessary. There is no command code to control label length.
