5.3.7 LABEL PRESENCE SENSOR CONTROL
The label presence sensor that is standard on the 466 printer gives the printer the ability to print at
the operators pace. The following modes define its operation.
^A ^D Command
XX 96 Load Advance Delay: ^A specifies how many milliseconds to delay repositioning
of the label in tag/tear and peel-and-dispense modes. Example usage: ^A1000^D96
would delay label advance by one second.
97 Tag/Tear Operation: A method of dispensing a label where the label is advanced
so the perforation between labels is on the tear bar. This allows heavy tag stock and
regular label stock to be torn off easier. The distance of advancement may also be
defined by the user, if used in conjunction with the ^D95 command. There are three
modes of operation:
0 Disable tag/tear operation.
1 Advance after every label: Causes the paper to be advanced to the perforation after
every label is printed. As soon as the label is taken, the paper is backed up to the
beginning of the next label. This mode forces the printer and computer to operate at
the speed of the operator.
2 Advance after copies count: Causes the paper to be advanced to the perforation
after the number of labels specified by the copy count (^D73) or label count (^D75)
commands have been printed. As soon as the labels are taken, the paper is backed
up to the beginning of the next label.
3 Advance when idle: This causes the paper to be advanced to the perforation
whenever the printer does not have a label request pending. When another label
request is made, the paper backs up and the next label is printed.
