Print Command: Guidelines
• Use the correct terms for global and field options (for example, QSTOPn or WIDEn
where n indicates a number in the range). If a global or field option is entered
incorrectly, the print request is rejected. For more information, see the appropriate
global or field option on the following pages.
• A single print command can be used for multiple print lines; therefore, you do not need to
enter Print each time another line of text is printed.
Print Command: Specifying Global Options
The following global options are available for the Print command:
BACKnnn Back Global Option
Format BACKnnn (1<nnn<200)
Function Backs the paper up nnn dotlines before printing.
Example {PRINT,BACK50:@10,30:MF107|Hi world|}
QSTOPnnn Qstop Global Option
Format QSTOPnnn (1<nnn<65000) (microFlash 2/3/2t)
Function Stops nnn dotlines after sensing the Q mark. When the Q mark is found,
the paper advances by nnn dotlines and stops, even if the image is not yet
complete. If the Q mark is not found, the printer continues to advance;
therefore, use the STOP option when stop conditions are larger than the
desired image. The value of nnn ranges from 1 to 65,535 dotlines.
QSTOP Bnnn - QMark bottom
QSTOP Tnnn - QMark top
QSTOP Gnnn - QMark gap
QSTOP N - Ignore QMark
The commands notes above override label and sensor congiuration
settings in the printer.
Note: When the paper is properly aligned, the Q mark cannot be
positioned below the sensor. For more information, refer to Specifications
in the O'Neil Thermal Programming Guide .
Example {PRINT,QSTOP500:@10,30:MF107|Hi world|}
ROTxxx Rotate Global Option
Format ROT270, ROT180, ROT090
Function Rotates the image with the left edge of the image printing first either 270,
180, or 90 degrees.
Example {PRINT,ROT270:@10,30:MF107|Hi world|}
