Min. Code Gap
Minimum Code Gap represents the distance between the closest
bar codes within a print job. The distance is measured from the
bottom of one bar code to the top of the next bar code. The closest
bar codes can be located on two separate labels or on the same
label.
This distance is important because it affects how fast the Print
Speed can be set. If the bottom-most bar code on one label is very
close to the top-most bar code on the next label, the printer could
have trouble distinguishing which bar code correlates with which
label. To avoid the risk of miscorrelation, the printer automatically
set its Print Speed.
The default is 0.30 inches. The range is 0.15 to 1.00 inches in 0.01
inch increments.
Use this formula to determine printer speed in relation to minimum
code gap:
