Document commands
The document commands are a set of commands to control how the document is printed.
In order to support multiple hosts and to optimize the printing process, Labelpoint II has two
document commands. They are used to encapsulate print jobs, that is, a number of label print-
outs.
The Compact printer may be equipped with a cutter. The cutter is automatically detected
and normally no manual commands are needed, but for some situations there are commands
to further control the cutter.

The document commands enables Labelpoint to optimize the print process. If, for example,
automatic reverse feed is used, Labelpoint only reverse feeds the first layout in the print job.
This can save a lot of time when printing large batches.
Note! The dispensing feed and reverse feed must be set before the document start
command is sent.
