LCB
, AGD, SPG, OFX, OFY
This parameter selects the method the printer uses for detecting registration marks on the
different media types. The printer provides a lower reflective sensor as standard equipment.
The following sections discuss the LCB settings for the different media types.
4.4.7.1 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.
For example: Imagine a receipt format that contains 100 lines. If data is provided for the
first 50 lines, the printer will not advance for the remaining 50 lines that have been left blank.
The printer would stop immediately after printing the 50th line and then advance the media
by the amount specified in the SPG header parameter.
When the AGD header parameter is set to “0”, the printer will advance the same amount of
media even when text data fields are left blank. In this case, the advance distance is
determined by adding the SPG parameter and LSY parameter values.
