one label with the same field value before the field data is updated. All printers default to 1.
 Note: This command can only be issued once per label format. In addition, when alternate Control Codes
are enabled, the ^ character must be replaced by the @ character (hexadecimal 0x40). See
Control Codes.

0x7E
