Adjusts the machine to print at the vertical 0,0 point on
the supply. This adjustment accounts for mechanical
tolerances from machine to machine. The supply position
adjustment only needs to be made on the initial machine
setup. Increase the supply position to move print up,
decrease to move print down on the label. Print a test
label to verify the 0,0 point. Changing the supply position
affects the print position. Once the supply position is set,
use the print control packet to adjust printing.
B6. cut_posn -99 to 99 in 1/192 inch. Use 0 (no knife on these printers).
See "Defaults" for the default values on each printer.

Indicates black mark and thermal direct stock has been
loaded, causes the printer to operate in on-demand mode, and
feeds the supply approximately .05 inches up before printing
the format on each label (10/192 inches).
