470 Operators Manual 50
^A ^D Command
XX 75 Load Label Count: Tells the printer to print a batch of labels using the serial
number function if enabled. Can be used in conjunction with load copies count
(^D73). The batch of labels will be printed when a ^D35 is executed. Therefore,
this must precede a ^D3 command. The only difference between this command
and ^D73 is in the ability of this command to increment and decrement
sequential numbers in the batch. (see Section 5.3) Example usage:
^A20^D74^D35 - Prints 20 serial number labels.
XX 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 AUTOSIZING AND VALID GAP COMMANDS
The autosize 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
^D91 Value - 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 autosize labels that use a black line instead of a gap, execute a ^A1^D475 to put
the printer in black line mode.
To autosize blow-hole stock, set software dip switch 4 for blow-hole stock (see Section
4.4) and then autosize.
There is also a power-up autosize feature as defined in section 5.3, ^D24.
