<STX>Kc Parameter Overviews
(AL) Alignment Length – This command, critical for small labels when Label
Alignment is set to YES, allows a length (measured from leading edge to leading
edge of two successive labels) to be entered. The measured length must be provided
to the nearest hundredth of an inch. For very small labels, errors of 0.01” can result
in noticeable print variations on the labels between the media sensor and the print
head. The number of labels that can be fit between the Media Sensor and the print
head will magnify any error in label alignment length. Errors in measurement are
more favorable on the low side rather than the high side.
Non-Display models: The printer will verify the label position using the provided
Alignment Length before printing the first label after power-up.
(AS) Single Byte Symbol Set – This command allows for a default single-byte
symbol set. See <STX>y or ySxx for command details.
(BA) Backup After Print – This command determines the timing of the label back
up positioning when the present distance is set and the GPIO option or Present
Sensor option (including Peel and Present) is enabled. When enabled, the printer
immediately backs up the label after the applicator-issued start of print signal is
received or the label is removed, resulting in faster throughput. If disabled, the
printer will not initiate repositioning until the next label is ready to print (may help
prevent the curling of the label edge).
(BD) Backup Delay – This command sets a time delay for the retraction of a
presented label in one-fiftieth (1/50) of a second increments.
(BL) Backup Label – This command determines the timing of reverse label motion
when the GPIO option is installed and enabled; see Appendix J for details.
(BP) British Pound – This command, when enabled, will automatically switch from
the Number symbol (#) found at 0x23 (default PC-850 Multilingual Symbol Set) to
the British Pound symbol (£) at 0x9C.
(BS or bS) Backup Speed – This command controls the rate of label movement
during backup positioning for start of print, cutting or present distance; see Appendix
C for available speed ranges.
