The “normal” characters (i.e. different from the \& sequence mentioned above) <CR> (13

, 0D

)
and <LF> (10

) are ignored, just like the spaces (32

) at the end of the line.
When the ^FT command is used, the field origin is the lower left corner (see fig. 4 on page 12).
Therefore, especially when also using the ^FB command, it is necessary to check whether, upon
enlargement of the font size, there could be a change in the dimensions of the box (from bottom to
top) that could spill over the top limit for the label. In this case, only the part of the label contained
within the printing area is printed, and the excess amount is left out. In fig. 2 on page 9, the origin of
the coordinates corresponds to the upper left corner of the label, and thus everything that goes
beyond the origin (with, absurdly, negative coordinates) is lost.
When the ^FO command is used, upon an increase in font size, the box resizes itself from top to
bottom (the origin of the coordinates is the upper left corner, as appears in fig. 3 on page 11) and,
therefore, the risk consists in losing the portion extending below the lower edge of the label.
More generally, with the CZL emulation, the useful bitmap is determined by the size of the label:
never does it happen that one part of the image is printed on one label and the other part on another.
For the ^FB command to take effect, it must be preceded by the data string and be followed by the
^FS command.
3.1.4 Printer configuration
Many of the printer configuration parameters (please refer to the User Manual) can also be defined
with software. The parameters defined with software override those defined through the machine
configuration menu. Or, if one of the configuration parameters is modified with a software
command, the current configuration of the machine is modified until it is reset. When the machine
is turned on again, the configuration parameters assume the values of the last saved configuration,
and those changed with software are lost if they have not been saved.
^MNa (Media Tracking)
Through this command, it is possible to inform the printer of the type of label in use: continuous
form (no reference marker) or labels with a reference marker (be it a gap, black tick mark, or hole).
In the two cases where the parameter a assumes the following values:
N for continuous form
Y for the reference label.
With the continuous form, it is necessary to define the page length with the ^LL command already
described above (page 9); where the label is separated by a reference marker (of any type), the
length of the printing page is determined by the paper sensor set up to detect the gap (or black tick
mark or hole).
The instruction is ignored if the parameter is ignored or different from these two.
