2.5.32 ^D690)n (Set Darkness Range)
The
“^D690)” command is used to set the contrast of the printers output and does not
co
rrelate to actual print head temperature. The value for “n” is a range from 1 to 100 with a
setting of 80 being the printers default. The lowest setting that produces the desired result
should be used to extend print head life and performance.
2.6 7xx Series Commands
The 7xx series commands are used to control configurable enablements. These commands
may be issued either outside or inside a script file. Commands will return the current status
and/or setting if the ^Dxx command is entered without an argument. Entering a question
mark (“?”) after the ^Dxx command causes the printer to report the commands current
setting as well as the verbose description and help text associated with that particular
command.
2.6.1 ^D701)n (Enable Force LDS1 on Power-up)
The “^D701)” command is used to force the printer to power-up in the limited LDSI
emulation mode selected by the “^D501)” command. When this command is enabled, the
printer will always revert back to the limited 410 emulation mode even if the printer was in
the native LDSII language.

used if a script has not been selected using the “^D567)” command. Once a script has been
selected, the “^D720)” command processes the script on power-up as if it was normally
received by the printer.

The “^D721)” command sends an enquiry or “^D327)1” after each script in the queue has
