Chapter 2 Printer Commands
LDSII Programming Guide - 880015-0123 23
2.3.1 ^D300)n (Print Command)
This
command will print a label or a batch of labels where “n” controls how many labels of
the identical script are printed. When this command is used within a script file, it should be
placed at the end of the ^D commands. The
“^D300)” command is equivalent to the ^P
(ASCII 0x10) control code.
2.3.2 ^D305)1 (Infinity Print Command)
Issuing this command will initiate infinity printing. The printer will continue to print until the
machine is turned off. This command may be sent from outside or from inside a script file.
2.3.3
^D311)1 (Top-OF-Form)
This command uses the Label Present Sensor to detect the edge of the media and retracts
the leading edge of the media to the print head dot row or start position. The
“^D311)”
command is equivalent to the ^O (ASCII 0x0F) control code.
2.3.4
^D312)n (Form Feed)
This command causes the printer to feed or scroll a form size that is based upon the
previous script’s configuration where “n” controls how many copies are issued. The form is
determined by the last label size that was processed. This command can be used inside
and/or outside a script file. The
“^D312)” command is equivalent to the ^L (ASCII 0x0C)
control code.
2.3.5
^D313)n1,n2 (Advance Media)
This command is used to advance the media by a programmable distance (n1) at a
programmable speed (n2). The distance and speed parameters are specified in the current
selectable units (
“^D564)” and “^D565)”) commands. A negative distance for the n1
parameter causes the printer to retract the specified amount at the speed entered with the
n2 parameter.
2.3.6
^D315)n (Calibrate Sensor Thresholds)
This command is used to recalibrate the registration mark sensor thresholds for proper
detection of registration marks used on the current media. This command is an interactive
command requiring the printer’s response set to VERBOSE mode or the “^D550)9”
command.
The “n” parameter is the registration mark width and is entered using the current
unit of measure selected by the “^D564)” command. The calibration is done at the factory
and recalibration should only be issued when the installation of new sensors has occurred
or the original threshold does not function properly for the media being used. The
registration detection mode command
“^D636)” must also be correctly set to the type of
media that is being used for successful calibration to occur. If this command is used
improperly, the printer may not be able to detect registration marks causing the print to be
out of registration.
