5.3.8LABEL PRESENCE SENSOR CONTROL

The label presence sensor that is standard on the 410 printer gives the printer the ability to print at the operators pace. The following modes define its operation.

^A ^D Command

XX96 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^D96 would delay label advance by one second.

97Tag/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.
