HALT
Function
Pauses the printer after it prints one label. If there
are more labels left to print in the current batch,
pressing the printer's feed switch will signal the
printer to print the next label. The HALT command
also activates the label cutter in printers so
equipped.
Explicit Form

Parameters None
Comments
This feature is intended for situations that require
many similar labels, presented one at a time. For
example, tagging a large quantity of boxes on a
warehouse floor might call for labels that are
identical except for a serial number. You could write
the label format using the
command to
change the serial number, and use the HALT
command to put printing "on hold." Only one label
prints when you upload the label format to the
printer. If using a portable printer, you could even
disconnect the printer from the host and carry it to
the warehouse with the labels ready to print as
needed, without any other equipment.
Printers that have an integral cutter and label
taken sensor will stream labels without cutting
them unless there is a HALT command in the label
is ON.
