LIMITFEED - Calibration Feed Limit
Plain English
Caps the distance the printer feeds while searching for the next label gap during calibration / HOME. TSPL2 PG §LIMITFEED p30. Prevents runaway feeds on mis-cut or misaligned stock. Default 10 inches at boot. Two forms: `LIMITFEED n` (inches, English system) or `LIMITFEED n mm` (metric — must have a space before `mm`). Resident in memory across the session. No visual rendering effect — runtime hardware behaviour.
When to use
When working with unusual label stock where the auto-calibration could otherwise feed an excessive length searching for the next gap (e.g. die-cut stock with inconsistent gaps, or wide form-feed paper).
