Chapter 5 Printer Commands

5.10.2 Peel-and-Dispense Operation
This command is used when the labels are to be peeled from the backing material. Once
the label is taken, the label media retracts and allows proper registration of the next label
print. This command requires that the printer is configured with the optional label peel
assembly for proper operation. Not all models support the label peel option.

0 Disable Peel-and-Dispense operation.
1 Enable Peel-and-Dispense operation.
5.10.3 Load Advance/Retract Distance and Load Advance Delay
XX
95 Advance/Retract Distance: This command is used in conjunction with the
tag/tear (^D97), peel-n-dispense (^D98), and cutter (^D99) commands. It is
used to adjust the number of steps the printer will advance the media after
printing has stopped and then retract the same distance so that media is not
wasted. While the maximum value is 64,000 steps, it is not recommended that
the printer advance further than one label size. This may create a paper jam
when the label is retracted back into the printer.
XX
96 Load Advance Delay: The ^Axx specifies the amount time, in milliseconds,
that the printer will delay the repositioning or retraction of the media. For
Example, “^A1000^D96 <CR>” would delay for a period of one second.
5.11 View Printer Configuration and Statistics
These commands display or print configuration settings. The user may reset the Printed

5.12 Memory Commands
These commands offer special functions related to clearing, storing, and processing data in
the RAM and FLASH memory.
The printer can store up to 128 FORMAT files into the printer’s volatile RAM memory and
another 128 files into non-volatile FLASH memory. Once stored, these files may be loaded
from memory rather than having to be sent down thru the serial port. Formats are retained
even after power has been cycled when stored in FLASH memory. Formats stored in RAM
will be lost when the printer is turned “OFF.”
