^LL
Label Length
Description: The ^LL command defines the length of the label. This command is
necessary when using continuous media (i.e. media not divided into separate labels
by gaps, spaces, notches, slots or holes).
To affect the current label and be compatible with existing printers, this command
must come before the first ^FS command. Once you have issued an ^LL command,
the setting is retained until you turn off the printer or send a new ^LL command to
the printer.
Format: ^LLy
Parameters:
y = y-axis position (in dots)
Accepted Values: 1 to 32000, not to exceed the maximum label size.
While the printer will accept any value for this parameter, the amount
of memory installed will determine the maximum length of the label.
Default Values:
Stripe
®
printers: 1225
Xi printers: 1244
A value must be entered or the command is ignored
8 inches using 6 dot/mm printhead
6 inches using 8 dot/mm printhead
3 inches using 12 dot/mm printhead
Comments: The following formulas can be used to determine the value of y:
For 6 dot/mm printheads...
Label length in inches x 152.4 (dots/inch) = y
For 8 dot/mm printheads....
Label length in inches x 203.2 (dots/inch) = y
For 12 dot/mm printheads...
Label length in inches x 304.8 (dots/inch) = y
For 24 dot/mm printheads...
Label length in inches x 609.6 (dots/inch) = y
Values for y depend on the memory size. If the entered value for y exceeds the
acceptable limits, the bottom of label will be cut off. The label will also shift down
from top to bottom.
If multiple ^LL commands are issued in the same label format, the last ^LL
command will also affect the next label unless it is prior to the first ^FS.
