Transmissive Dot2Gap Values - Microcom 238B Operator's Manual

Printer Commands
^A ^D COMMAND
XX 124 Stock Out Threshold: This command is non-volatile and is used to set the
stock out threshold value (0-255) at which the printer detects an out of stock or
>LOW STOCK< error condition. The threshold is typically set to a value that is
80 percent of the transmissive sensor reading when no media is detected by
the transmissive sensor. This value is calibrated at the factory and should not
require adjustment unless the transmissive sensor has been replaced.
X 129 Auto Set Threshold: This command will cause the printer to scroll 1350 dots,
determine the proper threshold value, and set the nonvolatile threshold for
proper registration. The ^Ax selects either reflective or transmissive detection.
0 Automatically sets the transmissive threshold value.
1 Automatically sets the reflective threshold value.
X 158 Set the Transmissive Dot2Gap Value:
This is the distance of the transmissive sensor, which detects diecut and blow
hole registration marks, to the dot row. This distance is set at the factory and
is typically not needed to be changed. The transmissive Dot2gap distances
represent the physical characteristics of the printer models. This command is
used in conjunction with the Finish Mode feature; see the D27 command bit
position 8 for more information.

X 165 Set the Reflective Dot2Gap Value:
This is the distance of the reflective sensor, which detects blackline
registration marks, to the dot row. This distance is set at the factory and is
typically not needed to be changed. The reflective Dot2gap distances
represent the physical characteristics of the printer models.
