STOPnnn
Stop Global Option
Format
STOPnnn
(1<nnn<65000)
Function
Advances the paper to the proper point for tearing. This option stops the
paper nnn dotlines (.005”/dotline or 200 dotlines/inch) after the
beginning of the label or receipt. The data nnn is sent after the STOP
option specifies the total number of dotlines high for the image. For
example, for the microFlash series of printers (which have a 203dpi
mechanism), specifying STOP500 gives a 2.5" total height image from the
top of the paper to where it stops under the printhead.
If the paper has advanced nnn dotlines and the printed part of the image
is not yet complete, the image is truncated. If the printed part of the
image is complete, white space is added to the bottom until nnn dotlines
have advanced. The value of nnn ranges from 1 to 65,535 dotlines.
The STOP option can also be used with the QSTOP option. Specify the
STOP to stop the printing just after the stop using the QSTOP option. This
ensures the paper stops advancing whether paper with Q marks is loaded,
or regular paper is loaded.
Example
{PRINT,STOP500,QSTOP125
:@10,30:MF107|Hi world|
}
In this example, the paper stops advancing when it has advanced 500
dotlines, or 125 dotlines after the Q mark is detected, whichever occurs
first.
COLx y
Format
COLx y
Function
Creates a variable COLx (where 0<=x<=9) with the value of y (y may
have any legal value). Whenever COLx is specified in a field (e.g. @ROW,
COLx), the COLx is replaced with the value given in y.
