Command Structure <ESC>Qaaaaaa
aaaaaa = Total number of labels to print (1-999999)

preceding that. This command must be present in every
print job.
Default: None

3. 3. When used with the <ESC>F Sequential Numbering command, the
Print Quantity value should be equal to the total number of labels to
