5.4.7 LCB (Label Control Byte)
This parameter selects the method the printer uses for detecting registration marks on the
different media types. The Model 322M has both upper (transmissive) and lower (reflective)
gap detectors as standard equipment. The following sections discuss the LCB settings for
the different media types.
5.4.7.1

Die-Cut and Blow-Hole Media

A selection of "0" in the LCB parameter instructs the printer to detect the leading edge of the
label or Blow-Hole to identify the start of the next label. This method uses both the upper
and lower sensors for a type of detection referred to as transmissive. When using media
that contains a blow-hole, the software switch 4 (^D24 command) will have to enable "Blow-
hole Sensing" for proper stock out detection.
5.4.7.2

Black Line Media (Transmissive)

The Transmissive Black Line method is used when media using a black line for a
registration mark and transmissive detection is desired; a "1" should be entered in the LCB
parameter. This setting will detect the leading edge of the black line by using both upper
