5.3.8 LABEL PRESENCE SENSOR CONTROL
The label presence sensor instructs the printer to dispense labels at the operators pace. If a
label has been printed but not removed, the printer will wait until the label is removed before
allowing another label to be printed. The following modes define its operation.
^A ^D Command
XX 96 Load Advance Delay: ^A specifies how many milliseconds to delay
repositioning of the label in tag/tear and peel-and-dispense modes. Example
usage: ^A1000^D965 would delay label advance by one second.
97 Tag/Tear Operation: A method of dispensing a label where the label is
advanced so the perforation between labels is on the tear bar. This allows
heavy tag stock and regular label stock to be torn off easier. The distance of
advancement may also be defined by the user, if used in conjunction with the
^D95 command. There are three modes of operation:
0 Disable tag/tear operation.
1 Advance after every label: Causes the paper to be advanced to the perforation
after every label is printed. As soon as the label is taken, the paper is backed up
to the beginning of the next label. This mode forces the printer and computer to
operate at the speed of the operator.
2 Advance after copies count: Causes the paper to be advanced to the
perforation after the number of labels specified by the copy count (^D73) or
label count (^D75) commands have been printed. As soon as the labels are
taken, the paper is backed up to the beginning of the next label.
3 Advance when idle: This causes the paper to be advanced to the perforation
whenever the printer does not have a label request pending. When another
label request is made, the paper backs up and the next label is printed.
It is possible to have more than one mode in effect at a time. For example,
Modes 2 & 3 which would cause the label stock to be advanced after a copies
count and then remain advanced until another label request is made.
