• The start of I-Mark is the base print position when using the I-Mark sensor.
• The end of I-Mark is the base print position when using the I-Mark (CX-compatible) sensor.
• The end of label Gap is the base print position when using the label Gap sensor.
• The end of I-Mark is the base print position when using the I-Mark (CX-compatible) sensor.
• The end of label Gap is the base print position when using the label Gap sensor.
• The center of label gap is the base tear off position when using the I-Mark sensor.*
• The center of label gap is the base tear off position when using the I-Mark (CX-compatible) sensor.*
• The center of label gap is the base tear off position when using the label Gap sensor.*

* Default value of label gap saved in the printer is 3mm (0.12”). Therefore, the distance from the base print position
to the center of label gap is 1.5mm (0.06”) (Default value). When the size of label gap is not 3mm (0.12”), use the
he <PC> command or the <PG> command to set the gap size properly. For the command details, refer to the
Command Reference.
