SET-TOF Command
Purpose: You use this command to program the distance between the top-of-form
and the end of the next (positive value) or previous (negative value)
eye-sense mark or gap. You should use the eye-sense mark or gap that is
closer to the top-of-form for the top-of-form setting.
Format:
{ command } { d }
where:
{command}: SET-TOF
{d}: The distance between the top of form and the end of the
next or previous eye-sense mark or gap, whichever is closer.
The specified value should be negative if the previous
eye-sense mark is used as reference or positive if the next
eye-sense mark is used.
The maximum values (in dots) for the PL-series printers is 116.
Example 1: The following example sets the top-of-form to the end of the next eye-
sense mark to 101 dots, measured from the top-of-form to the end of the
next (lower) label’s eye-sense mark.
Input (SETTOF.LBL):
! UTILITIES
SET-TOF 101
PRINT
Example 2: The following example sets the top-of-form to the end of the next eye-
sense mark to 0 dots, measured from the top-of-form to the end of the
next (lower) label’s eye-sense mark.
Input (SETTOF2.LBL):
! UTILITIES
SET-TOF 0
PRINT
Tearing the Paper
Remember to add a few extra carriage return/line feeds (CR/LF or Enter)
to the end of your receipt. Adding CR/LF advances the paper enough to
allow the receipt to be torn off without ripping through the last line of
text. After the printer is done advancing the paper, tear the paper off.
If your printer can move stock bi-directionally, the Present-At command
advances the paper enough to rip off the receipt and not tear through the
last line of text. Then, when the printer starts on the next item, it
automatically retracts the paper before printing to save on paper. Using the
Present-At command without an argument sets the printers to advance to
the default for that printer.
