Label Formatting Command Functions
Introduction
The <STX>L command switches the printer from the System-Level Processor to the Label
Formatting Processor. All commands following the <STX>L are interpreted as label
formatting commands, and can be used to override default parameter values. Selectable
parameter value defaults may be also reassigned via the Setup Menu, as defined in the
corresponding Operator's Manual. Label formats that contain no commands overriding
printer default values will assume those defaults.
: Set Cut by Amount
This command allows a predetermined number of labels to be printed before a cut is
initiated. This feature is useful when it is necessary to print an uncut strip of labels.
Between 1 and 9999 labels may be printed before a cut is made. The amount must be
smaller than the quantity of labels printed.
