Description

This command is used to draw rectangles on the label.

Syntax

BOX X_start, Y_start, X_end, Y_end, line thickness

Parameter

Description

X_start

Specify x-coordinate of upper left corner in dot

Y_start

Specify y-coordinate of upper left corner in dot

X_end

Specify x-coordinate of lower right corner in dot

Y_end

Specify y-coordinate of lower right corner in dot

line thickness

Line thickness of the box in dot

Note:

203 DPI: 1 mm = 8 dots
Recommended max. thickness of box is 12mm at 3

”

width.

Thickness of box that is larger than 12 mm may damage the power
supply and affect the print quality.
Max. print ratio is different for each printer model. Desktop and
industrial printer print ratio is limited to 20% and 30%
respectively.

Example

SIZE 3,2.5
GAP 0,0
SPEED 6
DENSITY 8
DIRECTION 0
CLS
BOX 100,100,200,200,5
