^A - Enter Pause Printing Mode
Purpose: When batch printing, this high-priority command finishes the
current label and temporarily suspends printing any further labels in
the print job.
Syntax: ^A
Remarks: When the printer is in Pause mode, the control LED slowly blinks
green, orange, and green again. The reply at command US is by
default <NAK>92<XOFF> (can be changed using eR command). No
reply at UN command.
To resume printing a batch, send the command ^C or press the Feed
button.
To cancel the remainder of the print job, use the ^B command.
This command can only be sent via the RS-232 or USB ports.
Example:
This example renders a box and orders the printer to print 4 copies. At
command ^A, the printing is paused and continued again at
command ^C.
