7 Select PIC Mode: This command is used to select from the various PIC
modes the printer supports. The PIC code is dedicated to the take-up
motor or the cutter. This should not be changed unless the PIC code
has been updated.
0 = Select Cutter PIC mode of operation . When this mode is
selected the printer will power and energize a cutter when the cutter
enable command (^D99 or ^D111) is issued after a print job
1 = Select Take-up PIC mode of operation . When this mode is
selected the printer will energize a DC motor to be used in a rewind or
take up capacity. Unless the printer is properly configured with a take-
up motor and correct take-up motor specific PIC, this mode should not
be enabled because it could potentially damage the cutter.
8
Nonstick TOF Mode: This feature was added to handle some
applications where an unmanned system is left idle for long periods of
time. The printer will periodically move the media to keep it from
adhering to the platen roller in an effort to prevent media jams. Each
time the value times out, the printer will advance 75 full steps at .5ips
and then perform a TOF at normal speed. The timer is then reset and
starts to count down once again. The default time interval is set to 4
hours or 144400 seconds. The interval may be adjusted by using the
D156 command.
