4.4.7 LCB (Label Control Byte)
HFM, LSX, LSY, WEB, GAP, DPS,
This parameter selects the method the printer uses for detecting registration marks on the
different media types. The Model 324M and 424M printers have both upper (transmissive)
and lower (reflective) gap detectors as standard equipment. The following sections discuss
the LCB settings for the different media types.
4.4.7.1 Die-Cut and Blow-Hole Media (setting = 0)
A selection of "0" in the LCB parameter instructs the printer to detect the leading edge of a
die-cut label or a "blow-hole" to identify the start of the next label. In this method light from
the lower sensor passes through the stock to the detector in the upper sensor. This is
referred to as "transmissive" sensing. The label sample (Error! Reference source not
found.) is die-cut, therefore, the LCB is set to "0".
