2.5.12 ^D642)n (Set Advance/Retract Distance)
This command is used to set the distance the media advances and retracts after printing
while in dispense modes (“^D597)” command) or when a cutter is installed. The distance
“n” is entered in based on the unit of measure selected by the “^D564)” command.
The recommended
“^D642)” value for the guillotine cutter dispense distance for the Model
426 printer is 0.91 ” (23.1mm) but may vary due to mechanical tolerances and/or printer
model numbers.
The recommended
“^D642)” value for the rotary cutter dispense distance for the Model 426
printer is 0.91 ” (26.67mm) but may vary due to mechanical tolerances and/or printer model
numbers.
The recommended
“^D642)” value for the Tag/Tear dispense method for the Model 426
printer is 0.512” (13mm) but may vary due to mechanical tolerances and/or printer model
numbers.
The recommended
“^D642)” value for the Peel-N-Dispense dispense method for the Model
426 printer
is 0.472” (12mm) but may vary due to mechanical tolerances and/or printer
model numbers.
2.5.13 ^D643)n
(Set Print Head to LPD Distance)
This command sets the distance from the print head to the LPD (Label Present Detector)
using the
unit of measure selected by the “^D564)” command. This distance is the distance
media is retracted after reaching the LPD so that the media is properly positioned at the
print head. The distance is entered using the current unit of measure selected by the
“^D564)” command. This command is a “property” which means that it controls a specific
distance that is set at the factory. The property commands may be set back to their default
values using the “^D392)1” command.
2.5.14 ^D644)n
(Set Idle Recognition Delay)
The “^D644)” command is used to set the time after a printer goes idle before idleness is
recognized and is used in conjunction with the “^D597)3” command. The value for “n” is
entered in decimal seconds, with tenths of a second resolution.
2.5.15 ^D645)n1
(Set Advance/Retract Speed)
This command is used to set the speed that the printer advances and retracts while in a
“^D597)” dispense mode. The value entered is based on the current unit of measure or
“^D565)” command setting. If media slippage occurs, the speed should be lowered to
reduce this from reoccurring.
2.5.16 ^D646)n
(Set Platen Roller Compensation)
This command is used to set the drive roller compensation factor to accommodate the
tolerance of the drive roller. This command is set at the factory and should only be changed
if a new drive roller is installed. The value for “n” is entered using the current unit of
measure that is set by the “^D564)” command and is the distance of the lines generated by
