LABEL PRESENCE SENSOR CONTROL

The label presence sensor instructs the printer to dispense labels at the operators pace. If a label
has been printed but not removed, the printer will wait until the label is removed before allowing
another label to be printed. 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^D965 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.
It is possible to have more than one mode in effect at a time. For example, Modes
2 & 3 which would cause the label stock to be advanced after a copies count and
then remain advanced until another label request is made.
