466 Operators Manual 43
^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^D76? -
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 - Sets gap detection level. See ^D91 definition later in this section.
This value may be obtained using the auto-size command. This
should be done whenever the media type is changed.
When auto-size is executed, a sample of approximately 5-10 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^D47? to
put the unit in black line mode.
To auto-size 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.
