~XC99

630,6X6,SNAP

This command tells the printer how many tickets to print before it makes a cut. The
maximum number of tickets that the printer can wait between cuts is 99. If no cuts are
needed within the batch a value of 00 should be sent. If 00 is sent then a cut only
occurs at the beginning of a batch. For example: A format calls for only cutting once
every 3 tags. The command would be ~XC03.

~XV_..._

636,656,676,686,SNAP

This command tells the printer the setup information that is to be passed to the verifier.
A verifier must be attached to the printer. As many options as are necessary can be
placed after the command. For example: If a barcode command has these settings -
~XVRSCC00A00 then the verifier will reject barcodes with a grade C or lower. The
options consist of:

N - Halt the printer on a no read only.

B - Halt the printer on both a no read and a symbol quality reject.

W - Halt the printer on warnings generated by the barcode.

R - Halt the printer on barcode symbol quality rejects only.

S_ - Quality level of the barcode is checked. The _ is replaced by the grade of

B, C, D, or F.

C99 - Consecutive failures of a barcode where 99 is replaced by 00 for

Disable, or 01 thru 10.

A99 - Accumulative failures of a barcode where 99 is replaced by 00 for

Disable, or 01 thru 20.
