Label Printing

[Paul Groves]

I have been given a TM-T88II M129B thermal printer by a friend who has 
bought a newer label printer for his business.

This is a receipt printer but he was using it to print on rolls of 
adhesive labels for product labelling.

I have not used a receipt/label printer like this on Ubuntu (or linux) 
before.

How would I go about setting this printer up to print from glabels?

Specifically how does the printer know when a label starts/ends?
The Dymo labelwriter labels which I have used in the past have black 
bars on the back to align the labels.

Has anyone got any experience with this?

I am using 18.04LTS

Thank you

Paul
