Cutter Control: This command will enable or disable full and/or partial cuts.
Command 102 and 103 can be used to set the cut intervals. The Full Cut
Interval (^D102) and the Partial Cut Interval (^D103) may be used at the same
time but where a full and partial cut coincide, only the full cut will be preformed.
(Partial cuts are only available if the full/partial cutter was installed. If this
command is set to a value of 2, the printer will pause after the partial cut and
wait for the user to take the label.) The cut point is adjusted using the ^D95
command. The ^D99 command will assume a default ^D95 value of 155.
0
Disable cutter.

Load User Defined Steps for Label to Advance: This command is used in
conjunction with the tag/tear (^D97), peel-and-dispense (^D98) and cutter
(^D99) commands. It is used to adjust the number of steps that the printer will
advance and retract media. While the maximum value is 64,000 steps, it is not
recommended that the number of steps create a situation where the entire label
is back fed into the printer. This may create a label jam in the printer when the
back edge of the label meets the print head.

Mark Text Starting Position: ^A designates which text field to start entering
new data. This is useful for creating variable data fields after a string of fixed
data fields. ^AXX^D61 marks the text starting position, where XX is the text
string number where the new text will begin. If XX is a 2, the first line of new text
entered following a ^D2 will overwrite text line two. If two new text strings are
entered, the existing text lines two and three will be over-written. If three new
text strings are entered, the existing lines two, three and four will be overwritten,
and so forth.
62
Pre-padded Text: This command is used to pre-pad data. Any data already
loaded into a field will be retained if the ^D62 command is sent. The following is
an example:
^D57
<header>
<field definition1>
<field definition2>
