Rendered example

Output of the example above in our renderer (203 dpi). Not verified on a physical printer.

Parameters

Parameter	Meaning
`h`	Label height (length) in dots; the preview clamps it to 64–4064 dots
`gap`	Gap between two labels in dots; used by the printer's feed, not drawn in the preview

Common mistake

Mixing up Q and q: uppercase Q sets label height and gap (Q1218,24), lowercase q the width. Writing the width as Q812 gives an 812-dot-tall label and leaves the width unchanged.
