2.5.5

^D635)n

(Set Print Speed)

The

“^D635)” command sets the print speed of the printer using the current selected unit of

measure. Parameter “n” has a range of 1-6 inches per second or 2.54 - 15.24 cm/second.
This command is also a parameter in the “^D200)” script header command. See also, SPD.


2.5.6

^D636)n

(Set Detection Mode)

This command selects the type of method the printer uses for detecting registration marks
on the different media types. A selection of a “0” disables the detection of registration marks
and is used in conjunction with media that does not contain a registration mark like
continuous m

edia. A selection of a “1” uses the reflective detection method and is used

when detecting registration marks located on the bottom side of the media. A selection of a
“2” uses the transmissive detection method which can be used with any type of media but is
not recommended when only detecting registration marks located on the bottom side of the
media. A selection of a “3” also uses the transmissive detection method and is used in
conjunction with media containing a blowhole. Both upper and lower gap detectors are
required for stock out detection regardless of the type of registration mark detection. This
command is also a parameter in the “^D200)” script header command. See also, DET.

2.5.6.1

Detection Mode - None (0)

This mode is usually used with continuous media. Even though it is not necessary to sense
a registration mark, it is still important that the Upper and Lower Sensors are vertically
aligned to sense out-of-stock or stock out conditions.
