VARIABLE NO_MEDIA

Function

Specifies how long the printer will run without

detecting a label before assuming that it is out of
media. This only applies to gap indexing mode.

Explicit Form

Implicit Form

VARIABLE NO_MEDIA nn

V NO_MEDIA nn

Parameters

nn

Number of label inches that the printer
will try to feed before assuming it is out

of media. Allowable values are 0 to 12,

with a default of 1.
A value of 0 disables this feature.
A ? returns the current setting status.

Comments

When using this command, send it to the printer

with VARIABLE WRITE in a non-printing label
format. Do not use this command in stored label

formats.

This feature works by measuring label gap length.
If the printer detects a gap that is longer than nn, it

assumes that there are no more labels and stops
feeding. You will need to change this setting if your

label media has gaps greater than 1".

The printer always assumes it is empty if it does not

detect a label after feeding 12" of media, regardless

of the VARIABLE NO_MEDIA setting. (In black bar
mode, the printer always stops running after

feeding 12" of media without detecting an index
mark.)
