Note: The printed labels counter shows the number of labels printed since the last reset and
the total labels indicates the total number of prints since the manufactured date. The printed
labels and printed inches counters are user resetable while the total labels and total inches
counters are not. Printed inches and printed labels are reset using the ^D29 command (see
section 5.3). The power-up label contains other useful information including the unit serial
number, power-on hours, previous serial parameters (not the default parameters caused by
executing creating a status label), and the software revision number.
The switch bank settings reflect the contents of the six software and the two hardware dip
switch banks that configure the operation of the printer.
