LABEL PRESENCE SENSOR CONTROL

The label presence sensor that is standard on the 400 printer gives the printer the ability to print
at the operators pace. 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^D96 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.
