HOME - Home Position

Plain English

Feeds the media until the internal sensor finds the next label origin (TSPL2 PG §HOME p25–26). Whether the printer back-feeds or feed-forwards to home depends on the per-model behaviour table on PG p25. Takes no parameters. ⚠️ `SIZE` and `GAP` (or `BLINE`) must have been issued first — HOME without prior geometry definition produces undefined behaviour. Runtime hardware behaviour; no SVG rendering effect.

When to use

At the start of a print run after power-on or after manual media-load, so the printer knows where the first label begins.
