Chapter 7 — Commands
ESim for the PC4 and PF8 Printer Programmer’s Reference Manual 93
Remarks: Parameters can be entered in any order. Default is on.
S - Reverse Gap Sensing Enabled
By default, the sensor interprets blockage of light to mean a label
is present. This parameter reverses the operation of the label gap
sensor so it interprets a blockage of light as a gap between labels.
Before using the S parameter, make sure to load the printer with
the appropriate type of media.
N - Label Taken Sensor Disable
When the label taken sensor is enabled, the communication to
the printer is blocked as long as the sensor detects a label in the
feed out slot. This command does not work with a cutter; if a
cutter kit is fitted on the printer, use ON to disable the sensor.
D - Ribbon End Sensor Disable
The ribbon end sensor (thermal transfer models only) detects
reflections from the trailing silvery part of the transfer ribbon.
Direct Thermal Mode
If the ribbon end sensor is disabled parameter, density settings are
interpreted via a table that gives an optimized printout for direct
thermal printing. For help with density settings, see
“D - Density” on page 63.
Thermal Transfer Mode
If the ribbon end sensor is enabled, an error occurs if no
reflection is detected. The density settings are interpreted via a
table that gives an optimized printout for thermal transfer
printing. For help with density settings, see “D - Density” on
page 63.
C - Cutter Enabled
If option C is enabled, cutting is performed after print.
Commands JF and JB are disabled but their values remain stored
in memory.
D Disable ribbon end sensor.
Cnnn Print nnn labels (1-255) before cutting.
Cb Print batch before cutting
