Page 2: Controlling The Printer
1. INTRODUCTION The Label Design Software (LDS) is a powerful and easy to use package that allows the user to create his own label formats. LDS supports printing multiple copies, serial numbering, and logos. It can be driven from a dumb terminal, PC, or mainframe computer. A large number of predefined label formats can be stored in EPROM memory. - Page 3 Same as DEL but has another special function. No effect. Print a test label. Print a blank label. Instructs the printer to stop sending data. Instructs the printer to continue sending data. ACCUMULATOR MODE The accumulator mode is used in conjunction with the command mode to load data or control numbers into the printer.
- Page 4 PRINT MODE The print mode instructs the print to start the print cycle. If the printer has not been instructed to print multiple copies then only one label will be printed. COMMAND MODE The command mode is used for sending the printer set-up and control information.

These control codes are listed in order of priority. The SUB character can only happen on the first poll after power up. Also the SUB character can be suppressed by a dip switch setting. See the section on dip switches. 3. - Page 8 If an element is left blank, then a default value will be used. The following is a list of the header element mnemonics and their default values: Mnemonic HFM,LSX,LSY,WEB,GAP,DPS,LCB,AGD,SPG,OFX,OFY,VSC,PHX Default value MODEL 1100 0,231,154, 5, 10, 31, 1,154, 2,300 1400 0,231,154, 5, 10, 31,...
- Page 9 label instead of the leading edge. If it is set to a value of two, then the printer will not wait on the gap detector. Instead, prints fields then moves extra distance specified in the SPG header element. NUMBER OF STEPS TO ACTIVATE GAP DETECTOR This element determines how many slices (steps) before the gap detector circuit is activated.
- Page 10 The default for these elements depends on the character generator used (CGN). The default for this element depends on the text conversion identifier used (TCI). The field elements are: TEXT STRING NUMBER This element determines which text string to get the data from. This allows more than one field to use the same text string.

Barcode and text character generators are stored in EPROM memory.
- Page 12 The baud rate can be set by changing the jumper configuration. The jumper can be found on the control board for the M450 and M460 printers. For the 1100, 1400, and 2000 they are on the serial I/O board. Other serial port functions can be set via the dip switch setting.
