HOME (Home Position) - TSPL Command Reference

Authored by RFID.me Last updated August 11, 2026 Editorial policy

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.
