410 Operators Manual 43
^A ^D COMMAND
XX 75 Load Label Count: Tells the printer to print a batch of labels using the serial
number function if enabled. Can be used in conjunction with load copies count
(^D73). The batch of labels will be printed when a ^D3 is executed. Therefore, this
must precede a ^D3 command. The only difference between this command and
^D73 is in the ability of this command to increment and decrement sequential
numbers in the batch. See section 5.3 for more information. Example usage:
^A20^D74^D3<CR> - Prints 20 serial number labels.
XXX 76 Load Delay Time Between Printed Labels: Delays the printing between labels
in a batch. Preceded by ^A which contains the wait in 1/10ths of a second
increments. The maximum value is 650. Example usage: ^A10^D76<CR> -
introduces a one second delay between printed labels.
5.3.3 AUTO-SIZING and VALID GAP COMMANDS
The auto-size feature gives important format file values for the label header. These
values are:
LSY - Label height
GAP - Distance between labels
AGD - Steps until activating gap detector
SPG - Steps past gap
^D91Value - Sets transmissive properties of stock. See ^D91 definition later in
this section. This value is obtained from auto-sizing and should
be inserted as the ^A value associated with the ^D91 command.
This must be done whenever stock is changed.
When auto-size is executed, a sample of approximately 10 labels will run through the
printer. The printer averages the values it receives from these labels.
To auto-size labels that use a black line instead of a gap, first execute a ^A1^D47<CR> to
put the unit in black line mode.
To auto-size blow-hole stock, set software dip switch 4 for blow-hole stock (see section
5.3.1) and then auto-size.
There is also a power-up auto-size feature as defined in section 5.3.3, ^D24.
