ACTLEN
Field of Application Function returning the length of the most recently executed PRINTFEED,
FORMFEED, or TESTFEED statement.
Syntax ACTLEN
Remarks
The length of the most recently executed paper feed operation, resulting
from a PRINTFEED, FORMFEED, or TESTFEED statement, will be
returned as a number of dots. Due to technical reasons concerning the
stepper motor control and label gap detection, a small deviation from
the expected result may occur.
Example In this example, a 12 dots/mm printer is loaded with 90 mm (1080 dots)
long labels separated by a 3 mm (36 dots) gap. Start- and stopadjust
setup values are both set to 0:
10 FORMFEED
20 PRINT ACTLEN
RUN
yields:
1121
The deviation from the expected result (1116) is normal and should have no
practical consequences (less than 1 mm).
