then, after a delay period, advances the media a specified distance. It then
retracts the media the same distance before starting a new print job.
You use the delay parameter to avoid unnecessary advance and retract
operations when printing a batch of print jobs. You can issue the
Present-At command in a label file or in a utilities command session
(!UTILITIES...PRINT).

advancing the media. Increments are in 1/8 of a second. A
delay of "1" is equivalent to 1/8 second. A delay of "4" is
equivalent to 1/2 second, etc.
