Continuous Forms Printing
No 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 rec-
tangle 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 continuous forms by placing the Label Sen-
sor Selection switch (DSW3-3) in the ON position. See Operation Ma-
nual: Printer 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 po-
sition 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.
