English system (inch) GAP m,n (2) Metric system (mm) GAP m mm,n mm Parameter Description m The gap distance between two labels 0 m 1 (inch), 0 m (mm) n The offset distance of the gap n label length (inch or mm) 0,0 Continuous label. Note: For metric system, there must be a space between parameter and mm . When the sensor type is changed from Black Mark to GAP , please send the GAP command to the PRINTER first.

This command references the user s approximate measurements. If the measurements conflict with the actual size, the GAPDETECT command will not work properly. This calibration method can be applied to the labels with pre-printed logos or texts.
