x X starting position for label. Older
printers used this parameter to
position labels horizontally so two
labels could be printed side-by-side.
Always set x equal to zero in any
printers that support the
MULTIPLE
command. High speed Barcode
Blaster printers automatically limit
their print speed to 3 IPS when x is
nonzero.
dottime Determines how long the printhead
dots stay hot, thereby changing the
dot length. Values can range from 0
to 255, but values less than 30 are
treated as 30. The dot time will
increment in steps of 10 when
operating in linear dot time mode
(see the VARIABLE MODE
command). The specified dot time is
rounded down to the nearest step.
NOTE: Dot time values that result in
aspect ratios less than 0.8 may cause
poor print quality. Dot times under 100
automatically disable high speed
printing. Some printers only support
dot time 100. Refer to
Table 1.
Printer Command Compatibility for
more information.
maxY
Specifies how many dot rows are
memory-mapped for each label max
Y
must be large enough to map all
label components, but not so large
that it causes memory overflow or
label skipping.
numlbls Sets the quantity of labels to be
printed by the label format. The
allowable range is 0 to 65535.
