96
Load Advance Delay:
^A specifies how many milliseconds to delay repositioning
of the tag in tag/tear mode. Example usage: ^A1000^D96 would delay tag advance
by one second.
97
Tag/Tear Operation:
A method of dispensing a tag where the tag is advanced so
the perforation between tags is on the tear bar. This allows heavy tag 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 tag: Causes the paper to be advanced to the perforation after
every tag is printed.
2
Advance after copies count: Causes the paper to be advanced to the perforation
after the number of tags specified by the copies count (^D73) or tag count (^D75)
commands have been printed.
3
Advance when idle: This causes the paper to be advanced to the perforation
whenever the printer does not have a tag request pending. When another tag
request is made, the paper backs up and the next tag is printed.
XX
95
Load User Defined Steps for Tag to Advance:
Used in conjunction with tag/tear
mode. This value, after print, will advance the tag a user defined distance instead
of defaulting to the measure specified by the tag/tear mode. This printer feature
accommodates special stock and special circumstances (very small tags,
applicators, etc.). While the user may specify 64,000 steps, it is not recommended
that the number of steps create a situation where the entire tag is back fed into the
printer. This may cause tags to jam in the printer when the back edge of the tag
meets the print head.
