Note: the position of the cursor is updated to the opposite corner of the segment
to make it easier for complex drawings in that the cursor does not have to be reposi-
tioned every time.
17.31 /Mwwwwhhhhttt
The
/M
command is used to draw rectangular borders. The top left corner is in the posi-
tion of the last command
/E
.
It must be followed by 3 parameters with the following significance:
wwww
width in a direction parallel to the printhead (values: from 0008 to the distance
from the border).
hhhh
height in the direction of the paper feeding (values: from 0008 to the border).
ttt
thickness of the border measured in the direction of the centre (values: from 001
to 999).
17.32 /Nssssoooo
The
/N
command is used to control the paper cutter which could be installed on the
printer as an optional.
It must be followed by 2 parameters of 4 digits each with the following significance:
ssss
number of labels after which it is to cut (values: from 0000 to 9999)
oooo
Footstep number of the BackFeed (values: from 0000 to 0200)
ST4XX not in
use must be zero.
The positive values for ssss activate the cutter and define the number of labels to print be-
fore cutting.
Negative values define the applicator time cycles in the ST4xx series.

s

= is only used for the sign "-" (minus)
s

= multiplier
s
3
= time interval between the end of the print and the blowing of the label.
s
4
= time interval between the label being blown and the printing of the next label.
The factor s
2
must be multiplied by s
3
and by s
4
to obtain the time expressed in tenths
of a second.
E.g.. t

= s
