the following bit pattern:
100 – Standard

7 Disable System Parameter Saving: When enabled, the printer will not save
the non-volatile system parameters on power downs. The ^A1^D143 will
continue to save system parameters.
8 Finish Mode: When enabled, the printer will finish printing the current label
as far as it can after a stock out error. The change will take place after a power
cycle or after the restart command. When a stock out occurs the printer will
finish printing the entire label if the LSY is less than the dot-to-gap distance. If
greater, it will continue printing for a distance equal to the dot to gap distance
OR until the label finishes; which ever comes first. The dot-to-gap value is
configurable using the D158 command. The error will be acknowledged at the
end of printing. This will work with all media (continuous, black line, and gap).
