6.18 Setting Break for Batch Printing

When printing large batches of labels, it is useful to be able to break the
printing, if for example an error should be detected. You can break the
printing either via any serial communication channel or from the print-
er's built-in keyboard (if any). By default, a break instruction is produced
by simultaneously pressing the <Pause> and <Shift> keys on the printer's
keyboard.
Two instructions allow you to create other ways of issuing a break
instruction.
BREAK
some serial communication channels and for the keyboard, whereas
enables/disables break interrupt and deletes the break
BREAK ON|OFF
character for the corresponding devices.
Note: Break interrupt characters are not saved in the perma-
nent memory, but must be transmitted to the printer after each
power-up.
