Label Formatting Command Functions 
 
 
Introduction 
 
The <STX>L command switches the printer from the System-Level Processor to the Label 
Formatting Processor. All commands following the <STX>L are interpreted as label 
formatting commands, and can be used to override default parameter values. Selectable 
parameter value defaults may be also reassigned via the Setup Menu, as defined in the 
corresponding Operator’s Manual. Label formats that contain no commands overriding 
printer default values will assume those defaults. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
:  Set Cut by Amount 
 
This command allows a predetermined number of labels to be printed before a cut is 
initiated. This feature is useful when it is necessary to print an uncut strip of labels. 
Between 1 and 9999 labels may be printed before a cut is made. The amount must be 
smaller than the quantity of labels printed. 
 
Syntax: 
:nnnn 
 
Where: 
nnnn 
-
Is a four digit decimal number indicating the number 
of labels to be printed before a cut is performed.

The sample above instructs the printer to make a cut after 5, 10, 
and 20 labels have been printed. Label 21 will be cut at the start 
of a subsequent label format (batch) unless a default (cut by 
amount) greater than one has been entered. 
 
 
The cutter must be enabled with all mechanism interlocks closed for operation.
