4.4.7 LCB (Label Control Byte)
HFM, LSX, LSY, WEB, GAP, DPS,
This parameter selects the method the printer uses for detecting registration marks on the
different media types. Theprinter printer has both upper (transmissive) and lower (reflective)
gap detectors as standard equipment. The following sections discuss the LCB settings for
the different media types.
4.4.7.1

Die-Cut and Blow-Hole Media (setting = 0)

A selection of "0" in the LCB parameter instructs the printer to detect the leading edge of a
die-cut label or a "blow-hole" to identify the start of the next label. In this method light from
the lower sensor passes through the stock to the detector in the upper sensor. This is
referred to as "transmissive" sensing. The label sample (Figure 4-2) is die-cut, therefore,
the LCB is set to "0".
4.4.7.2

Continuous Media (setting = 2)

If the LCB parameter is set to a value of "2", the printer will not search for a registration
mark. The gap detectors are only used for stock out conditions when set for continuous
media types. The printer will print all fields that contain data and then advance the media by
the amount specified in the SPG parameter of the header when the default AGD of "1" is
entered in the header. This means that fields that are left blank or text data for the
associating format fields are left empty will not print.
