Tips (label printer)
Some TM printers, such as the TM-L60II, can print on labels. ESC/POS has label commands for the mechanism
control function type, such as ejecting a label or feeding paper to the print starting position and has
commands such as a serial number counter that apply to the label printers.
Printing on one label
If you want to repeat the flow of the operation of printing on a label, peeling it off, and pasting it, use
GS FF
for the last print command line in your program. The printer executes the following:
1. Executes printing the last line on the label.
2. Ejects the label to the position where it can be peeled off.
3. Blinks the paper LED.
4. Waits for the paper feed button to be pressed.
5. After the paper feed button is pressed, it feeds the label to the print starting position using reverse paper
feed.
Be sure to press the paper feed button after peeling the label off as shown in procedure 4. If you use
GS FF
,
you will not waste labels.
Continuous printing on labels
When printing on labels continuously,
FF
is used for the last print command line for one label, which
enables the printer to feed the next label to the print starting position. When printing on the last label,
GS FF
is used for not wasting a label.
