^A
^D COMMAND
XX 64 Auto-Print String Count: This command is used in conjunction with the
^A1^D63 auto-print command. The ^Axx specifies the number of text strings
(carriage returns) to accept before issuing the print command. When the
printer is in the auto-print mode, it is not necessary to send the ^D2 command
to enter text or the ^D3 command to initiate printing. The printer will accept
incoming text strings and print the label as soon as the number of strings
equal the amount specified by the ^D64 command.
The following is an example of the ^D61, ^D63, and ^D64 commands:
^A0^D64

The ^D115 is a non-volatile command that sets the proper type of cutter installed on the
