Hi everybody,

I use printer zebra ZM400 to print bar code labels.

Printer ZM400 doesn’t print the same length for all labels.

For example, when I set label length is: 330 mm & set up custom commands in Printing Preferences like:

^XA
^FO^LL7516.2624236
^FS
^XZ

When I print 3 copies at the same time. The first copy is printed with length 330 mm.

The second copy is printed with length 310.7mm

And the third copy is printed with length 305 mm or about that.

I set in control panel of Printer with this configuration:

With that configuration, backfeed is set up: OFF

Could you please tell me how to fix it? I want all labels are printed with the same length 330mm.

Appreciate with your valuable help :slight_smile:
