If this function is disabled, pressing the print button clears the error
condition, prints the pending job, and reenters the previous halting error
state. The button must be pressed and held during printing in order to exit
the error routine. This is used to reprint the pending job until the print
realigns before continuing.
1 = Enable (Single Button Error Clear)
0 = Disable (Reprint and Align)
2 >BUTTON PRESSED< status enable.
When enabled, pressing the
button will cause the printer to report the >BUTTON PRESSED< or 0xC0
depending on the printer’s ^D21 response mode configuration. This is
typically used on systems that preload a batch of jobs to the printer but wait
on the >BUTTON PRESSED< message before sending the print
command.
1 = Enable >BUTTON PRESSED<
2 = Disabled
3 Type of Top-Of-Form Sensor:
The leading edge of the label stock can be
sensed using either a reflective sensor or a transmissive sensor. The
correct type of sensor is determined by the printer hardware configuration
being used.
1 = TOF is TRANSMISSIVE
0 = TOF is REFLECTIVE
4
Enable Power ON TOF: This bit controls whether or not the printer will
do an automatic Top Of Form (TOF) when it is turned ON.
1 = Enable Power-ON TOF
0 = Disable
5
Enable Button TOF: This bit determines whether the GREEN button
functions as a Top-Of-Form or as defined by SW#2 bit 4. The button is
always configured to clear error conditions.
1 = Button is TOF
0 = Button is defined by SW#2 bit 4
6
Enable AutoLoad: This bit determines whether the AutoLoad function
is ON or OFF. When Autoload is enabled, and a no media to media
transition is detected by the printer’s internal transmissive sensor, the
printer will step the pulled the media into the printer and perform either
a TOF or a Form Feed depending on SW#5 bit 7 configuration.
1 = Enable AutoLoad
0 = Disable AutoLoad
7
Type of AutoLoad: This bit determines whether the AutoLoad function
uses the Top-Of-Form sensor (TOF), or if it uses the Form Feed
technique.
1 = Au TOF
0 = Au FF
