Printer Commands
2.5.15
^D643)n
This command sets the distance from the print head to the LPD (Label Present Detector)
using the unit of measure selected by the "^D564)" command. This distance is the distance
media is retracted after reaching the LPD so that the media is properly positioned at the
print head. The distance is entered using the current unit of measure selected by the
"^D564)" command. This command is a "property" which means that it controls a specific
distance that is set at the factory. The property commands may be set back to their default
values using the "^D392)1" command.
2.5.16
^D644)n
The "^D644)" command is used to set the time after a printer goes idle before idleness is
recognized and is used in conjunction with the "^D597)3" command. The value for "n" is
entered in decimal seconds, with tenths of a second resolution.
2.5.17
^D645)n1
This command is used to set the speed that the printer advances and retracts while in a
"^D597)" dispense mode. The value entered is based on the current unit of measure or
"^D565)" command setting. If media slippage occurs, the speed should be lowered to
reduce this from reoccurring.
2.5.18
^D646)n
This command is used to set the drive roller compensation factor to accommodate the
tolerance of the drive roller. This command is set at the factory and should only be changed
if a new drive roller is installed. The value for "n" is entered using the current unit of
measure that is set by the "^D564)" command and is the distance of the lines generated by
the "^D394)1" command. This command is a "property" which means that it controls a
specific distance that is set at the factory. The property commands may be set back to their
default values using the "^D392)1" command.
2.5.19
^D647)dc,dp
The "^D647)" command is used to identify and specify the values for the print head installed
on the printer. The "dc" parameter specifies the "dot count" or total number of dots on the
print head while the "dp" or "dot pitch" identifies the dots per millimeter value.
command is available in all access modes with the exception being LOCKOUT mode only.
This command is typically set at the factory and never changed. Refer to the following table
for the available print heads and their appropriate values. This command is a "property"
which means that it controls a specific distance that is set at the factory. The property
commands may be set back to their default values using the "^D392)1" command.
