q – Set Label Width
Description Th is command is used to set the label width when using less than
full width labels.
Syntax

1
Parameters p
1
Width of label measured in dots.
Default:
832 at 203.2 dpi (8 dots/mm)
1204 at 300 dpi (11.81 dots mm)
Remarks Th e q command will cause the image buff er (see M command) to
be formatted to match the label width, that is width is traded off
for increased length within the same memory size.
Th e q command will also automatically set the margins according
to the following rule:
(No. of dots on printhead - label width in dots)/2 (center-aligned)
Note: If an R command (Reference Point) is sent after a q com-
mand, the image buff er will be automatically reformatted to
match the width of the printhead and the margins will be reset
accordingly.
