^SS

^SS

The
^SS
 command is used to change the values for media, web, ribbon, and label length set during the media calibration process. The media calibration process is described in your specific printer’s user’s guide.

Set Media Sensors

Example
Below is an example of a media sensor profile. Notice the numbers from 000 to 100 and where the words WEB, MEDIA, and RIBBON appear in relation to those numbers. Also, notice the black vertical spike. This represents where the printer sensed the transition from media to web to media.
The media and sensor profiles produced vary in appearance from printer to printer.
Comments:
 The
m2
 and
r2
 parameters have no effect in Stripe®
S
-300 and
S
-500 printers. This command is ignored on the HC100™ printer. Maximum values for parameters depend on which printer platform is being used.
