ACTLEN
Chapter 2 Program Instructions
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).
