Command Function To specify a unique print speed through software for a particular label.

the particular label format, media, and ribbon. All subsequent labels
will print at this speed unless the speed is changed with this command
or through the Operator Panel.
Input to Printer
>CS6
Printer Output There is no printer output for this command. It sets the print speed of
the printer.
Special Notes 1. This becomes the new setting for all subsequent print jobs, unless
changed. The setting is stored in non-volatile memory and is not
affected by cycling the power. The allowable speed ranges are:
CL408e/CL412e CL608e/CL612e
1 = 2 ips (50 mm/sec) 4 = 4 ips (100 mm/sec)
2 = 3 ips (75 mm/sec) 6 = 6 ips (150 mm/sec)
3 = 4 ips (100 mm/sec) 8 = 8 ips (200 mm/sec)
4 = 5 ips (125 mm/sec)
5 = 6 ips (150 mm/sec)
