^A ^D COMMAND
XXX 76 Load Delay Time Between Printed Labels: Delays the printing between labels in
a batch. Preceded by ^A which contains the wait in 1/10ths of a second
increments. The maximum value is 650. Example usage: ^A10^D765 - introduces
a one second delay between printed labels.
5.3.3 AUTO-SIZING and VALID GAP COMMANDS
The auto-size feature gives important format file values for the label header. These values are:
LSY - Label height
GAP - Distance between labels
AGD - Steps until activating gap detector
SPG - Steps past gap
^D91Value - States transmissive properties of stock to the gap detector. See
^D91 definition later in this section. This value is obtained from
auto-sizing and should be inserted as the ^A value associated with
the ^D91 command. This must be done whenever stock is
changed.
When autosize is executed, a sample of approximately 10 labels will run through the
printer. The printer averages the values it receives from these labels.
To auto-size labels that use a black line instead of a gap, first execute a ^A1^D475 to put
the unit in black line mode.
To autosize blow-hole stock, set software dip switch 4 for blow-hole stock (see section
5.3.1) and then auto-size.
There is also a power-up auto-size feature as defined in section 5.3.3, ^D24.
