2-12 Configuring the Printer
B5. supply_posn Supply Position. Range: -300 to 300 in 1/203 inch. 0 is the default.
Adjusts the machine to print at the vertical 0,0 point on the supply. This
adjustment accounts for mechanical tolerances from machine to machine.
The supply position adjustment only needs to be made on the initial
machine setup. Adjust the supply position if formats do not start at the 0,0
point on the supply. Increase the supply position to move print up,
decrease to move print down on the label. To verify the 0,0 point, print a
test label. See “Printing a Test Label” in Chapter 8 for more information.
For the RFID printer, adjust the supply position according to the RFID
Setup Guide and Supply Chart.
You can not change the supply position while the printer is active.
Changing the supply position will affect the print position, dispense
position, and backfeed distance. Once the supply position is set, use the
print control packet and backfeed control packet to adjust printing and the
dispense position.
B6. cut_posn Cut position. Range: -300 to 300 in 1/203 inch. Use 0 for the 9825.
Adjusts where the tag is cut. The printer adjusts the cut position according
to the black marks on the supply. You may need to adjust for aperture
supplies. Increase to move the cut up, decrease to move the cut down.
Note: We do not recommend setting a positive cut position for any
supply while using extended backfeed. You may cut off the
leading edge of the next tag.
B7. skip_index Skip index mode. The 9825 printer does not support skip index mode. If
using RFID supplies, do not use skip index mode. Options:
0 Disable skip index mode (default)
1 Enable skip mode. Allows the printer to skip a
sense mark and print an image over multiple labels.
Example {I,B,0,0,1,10,50,1 p }
Indicates black mark and thermal direct stock has been loaded, causes the
printer to operate in on-demand mode, feeds the supply approximately .05
inches up before printing the format on each label (10/203 inches), feeds
the supply .25 inches (50/203 inches) before cutting, and enables skip index
mode.
