B4. feed_mode Feed Mode. Options:
0 Continuous operation (default for all printers)
1 On-demand mode
For the 9412/9413 printers, you must have the on-demand
sensor installed to use on-demand mode. Also, the feed
mode is determined by the presence of the on-demand
sensor, not from this parameter. If the on-demand sensor is
open, you are using on-demand mode. If the on-demand
sensor is closed, you are using continuous mode. There is a
switch on the 9414 printer for on-demand mode. Refer to your
Equipment Manual for more information.
B5. supply_posn -300 to 300 in 1/203 inch. 0 is the default for all printers.
Adjusts the machine to print at the vertical 0,0 point on the
supply. This adjustment accounts for mechanical tolerances
from machine to machine. The supply position adjustment
only needs to be made on the initial machine setup.
You can’t change the supply position while the printer is
active. Changing the supply position will affect the print
position.
