j - Media Feed Adjustment
Purpose: This command makes it possible to set the media feed for tear-off
(straight-through), peel-off (self-strip), or cut-off operation.
Syntax: jp

.
Remarks: When using peel-off operation, the labels should remain slightly
stuck to the liner (backing paper) so they do not fall off but can
still can be easily removed.
In tear-off operation, the j command adjusts the media feed so
that the perforation between tags or gap between labels is aligned
with the tear bar.
The extra media feed set by the j command can be enabled or
disabled using JF and JB “Top of Form Backup” commands. By
default, “Top of Form Backup” is enabled.
