Adding a custom media size for continuous tape (Linux)

To add a custom media size for continuous tape, do the following:

 

  1. Run the command to add a custom media size.
     
    1. Add a new Label Format with the "New Label Format" name and set the 30mm width and length and the 3mm label gap:
       "brpapertoollpr_td2020 -P TD-2020 -n Paper_Name -w 30 -h 30 -g 3.0 -b 3 -t 3 -r 1.5 -l 1.5 -S [0/1/2] [-m 0.0 -o 0.0]"  [enter]
      (Type the whole command as a single line before you press enter):

       In the case of S=0,1 then program not needed (-m 0.0 -o 0.0).
        
      -P Printer Name, e.g. TD-2020
      -n New Label Name
      -w label width
      -h label length
      -g label spacing
      -b bottom margin
      -t top margin
      -r right margin
      -l left margin
      -S 0/1/2 (0:Continuous Length Tape / 1:Die-Cut Label / 2:Media With Marks)
      -m mark
      -o mark offset
        
      Example:
      brpapertoollpr_td2020 -P TD-2020 -n Paper_Name -w 30 -h 30 -g 3.0 -b 3 -t 3 -r 1.5 -l 1.5 -S [0/1/2] [-m 0.0 -o 0.0]
      Add a custom media size
       
    2. Remove the Label Format with the "New Label Format" name:
      "brpapertoollpr_td2020 -P TD-2020 -d Paper_Name"  [enter]

      Enter the Width and Height/Length in mm.

      Superuser authorisation is required.

  2. Select the new media size from "Set Printer Options" in "http://localhost:631/printers".
     

  3. Try a test print from "Print Test Page".
