^A ^D COMMAND
XXX 76 Load Delay Time Between Printed Labels: Delays the printing between
labels in a batch. The “^Axxx” specifies the delay time in tenths of a second
with a maximum value of 650. For example, “^A10^D76<CR>” would
introduce a one second delay between printed labels. This command is
typically used in conjunction with the Peel-n-Dispense mode and applicators.
6.3.3 Auto-sizing and Valid GAP Commands
The auto-size command attempts to automatically calculate important format values for the
label header including LSY, GAP, AGD, SPG and the ^D91 value. The printer feeds a
sample of labels through the GAP sensors and takes an average of the values it receives.
The auto-size command uses the appropriate sensors to detect the registration marks set
by the ^D47 command. Before issuing the auto-size command, verify that the ^D47 is set to
the proper setting for the media being used.
When using media that contains a blackline for the registration mark, first execute the
^A1^D47<CR> command sequence before issuing the auto-size command or the results
may be invalid.
When using media that contains a blow-hole, set software switch #4 (^D24 command) for
blow-hole detection and then issue the desired auto-size command before issuing the auto-
size command or the results may be invalid.

^D COMMAND
39 Auto-size:
0 Clears the use of auto-size values set by issuing the ^A1^D39<CR>.
1 Uses the values obtained for header variables instead of what is specified in
the format file’s header.
2 Automatically sizes the label and displays to the terminal screen the values for
the format header.
3 Same as ^A2^D39<CR>, but the values will be printed on the media.
5 Diagnostic Mode that steps the motor while displaying the readings from the
GAP detectors to determine the media’s proper ^D91 setting. This is also
referred to as “tick-tick” mode.

^D COMMAND
XX 91 Gap Detection Sensitivity: The proper value is obtained by using the ^D39
auto-size commands. The ^Axx value sets the point (0-255) at which the
printer detects a gap, blow-hole and/or blackline. When the printer is
powered-up or reset, this command defaults to a value of 30 if using the
transmissive sensor and 120 if using the reflective sensor. Although the
default value should work properly with most media types, it is a good idea to
place this command at the beginning of all format files in order to guarantee
that the printer will properly detect your media’s registration mark. If this value
