Intermec PC4

Chapter 4 — ESim Commands
96 ESim for the PC4 and PF8 Printers Programmer’s Reference Manual
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.
D Disable ribbon end sensor.
Cnnn Print nnn labels (1-255) before cutting.
Cb Print batch before cutting
