TESTFEED
Chapter 2 Program Instructions
Field of Application Statement for adjusting the label stop sensor while performing a
number of formfeeds.
Syntax TESTFEED[]
is an optional feed length in dots.
Remarks The TESTFEED statement feeds dots while adjusting the label stop/
black mark sensor (LSS) for the characteristics of the paper web presently
loaded. The adjustment is needed to detect paper, gap, black mark and outof-paper
conditions, therefore is must be done for all media types.
If is omitted, is automatically set to 1.5 times the label length
specified in the setup. For the TESTFEED operation to be successful, at least
one gap or black mark must pass the LSS.
In the Immediate Mode, a TESTFEED is performed when the and
keys are pressed simultaneously.
Since the TESTFEED is essential for a proper paper load, some facility for
issuing a TESTFEED statement should be included in all custom-made labelprinting
programs (see the example below).
Example This program performs a TESTFEED statement when the and
key are pressed simultaneously on the printer's built-in keyboard:
10 ON KEY (119) GOSUB QTESTFEED
20 KEY (119) ON
30 QLOOP:
40 GOTO QLOOP
. . . . .
