Configuration Syntax Guidelines
When creating a printer configuration packet:
¨ Follow the “Standard Syntax Guidelines” listed at the beginning of this chapter.
¨ The first character after the start of header ({) is the configuration header (I).
¨ Download multiple configuration packets within one packet or download a single
configuration packet.
¨ If you change any of the online configuration packets, resend the format packet to the
printer, so the configuration changes take effect.
¨ Include the first five ANSI codes, at a minimum, in the control characters packet.
¨ Send configuration packets once per session (each time the printer is turned off and then
back on), not with every format or batch packet.
¨ Make sure the communication settings at the host match those at the printer.
Making Print Adjustments
You can adjust where the printer prints on your supply by adjusting the supply, print, or margin
positions. However, keep in mind the following:
¨ Supply adjustments across the width of your supply, such as the margin position, are based
in dots. The printhead can be 203 or 300 dots per inch.
¨ Supply adjustments for the length of your supply, such as supply position or print adjustment,
are measured in ½03 of an inch, regardless of your printhead density.
