Printer Commands Chapter 2
44 LDSII Programming Guide - 880015-0123
2.5.26 ^D678)n (Set Broadcast Mask Address)
This command is used to set the Broadcast Mask address. This command is provided in all
access modes. The default Broadcast Mask address is set to “255.255.255.255” at the
factory. The printer uses the new settings only after a power cycle and/or reset command.
2.5.27 ^D679)n (Set Net Mask Address)
This command is used to set the Net Mask address. This command is provided in all
access modes. The default Net Mask
address is set to “255.255.255.255” at the factory.
The printer uses the new settings only after a power cycle and/or reset command. This is
typically set to 255.255.255.0.
2.5.28 ^D680)n (Set Gap Threshold)
The “^D680)” command is used to set the Gap threshold. The printer’s default threshold is
set to “30” and typically does not require any adjustment. The command is provided in all
access modes in the event that this threshold requires adjustment to correct registration
issues using different types of die-cut or blow-hole media. The values reported by the
“^D900)” Tick-Tick command will increase when sensing the registration mark and decrease
when the sensor is looking at label and backing of the media. The threshold should be set
to a mid-point between these two points.
2.5.29 ^D681)n (Set Blackline Threshold)
The “^D681)” command is used to set the blackline threshold. The printer’s default
threshold is set to “128” and typically does not require any adjustment. The command is
provided in all access modes in the event that this threshold requires adjustment to correct
registration issues with media using a blackline registration mark. The values reported by
the “^D900)” Tick -Tick command will decrease when sensing the black registration mark
and increase when the sensor is looking at more reflective portions of the media. The
threshold should be set to a mid-point between the black mark and more reflective portion.
If the media contains preprint, the threshold should be lowered until proper registration
occurs.
2.5.30 ^D682)n (Set Stock Sensor Threshold)
The “^D682)” command is used to set the stock sensor or out of stock detection. The
printer’s default threshold is set to “110” and typically does not require any adjustment. The
command is provided in all access modes in the event that this threshold requires
adjustment to correct the proper detection of stock out conditions. The values reported by
the “^D900)” Tick -Tick command will increase when sensing out of stock conditions The
default threshold is set to a point that should detect most stock out conditions. If the media
contains preprint, the threshold should be increased until proper registration occurs.
2.5.31 ^D683)n (Set LPD PWM)
This command is used to adjust the sensitivity of the Label Present Detector or LPD. The
default is set to 64 and should work for most applications. If the sensor always detects
media, reducing the PWM with make the LPD less sensitive.
