~JS
Change Backfeed Sequence
Description: The ~JS command is used to control the backfeed sequence. This
command can be used on printers with or without built-in cutters.
The primary applications are:
1. to allow programming of the “rest point” of the cut edge of continuous media.
2. provide immediate backfeed after peel-off when the printer is used in a
print/apply application configuration.
This command only stays in effect until the printer is powered off, a new ~JS
command is sent, or the setting is changed on the front panel. When a ~JS command
is encountered, it will supersede the current front panel setting for the Backfeed
Sequence.
The most common way of eliminating backfeed is to operate in rewind mode.
Rewind mode does not backfeed at all. After a label is printed, the leading edge of
the next label is placed at the print line. This eliminates the need to backfeed and
does not introduce a non-printable area at the leading edge/bottom of the label. It
also does not allow the label to be taken from the printer since it is not fed out from
under the printhead.
Running in another mode with backfeed turned off allows the label to be taken and
eliminates the time overhead of the backfeed sequence. It does introduce a 1-inch,
non-printable area at the leading edge/bottom of the label on 170PAX printers in
applicator mode.
Format: ~JSb
Parameters:
b = backfeed order in relation to printing
Accepted Values:
A = 100 percent backfeed after printing and cutting
B = 0 percent backfeed after printing and cutting, and 100 percent
before printing the next label
N = normal – 90 percent backfeed after label is printed
O = off – turn backfeed off completely
Default Value: N
When using a specific value, the difference between value entered and 100 percent is
done before the next label is printed. For example, a value of 40 means 40 percent of
the backfeed takes place after the label is cut or removed. The remaining 60 percent
takes place before the next label is printed.
