next label. The default Partial Cut Interval is set to 1. The printer will issue a
partial cut, if set to a 1, whenever the copies count is reached. If set to a value
greater than 1, the printer will partial cut when that quantity is reached. This
command only functions when the Cutter Control (^D99) command is set to
allow partial cuts.
Please note that a full cut will override a partial cut. The following examples assume that
the ^D99 command has been set to 3. Example #1: If the Full Cut Interval is set to a value
of 5 and the Partial Cut Interval is also set to a value of 5, the printer will issue a Full Cut.
Example #2: If the Full Cut Interval is set to a value of 5 and the Partial Cut Interval is set to
a value of 1, the printer will partial cut after labels 1 through 4 and full cut after label 5.
6.3.7 Text String Commands
These commands offer special functions pertaining to the text strings. Some of the special
functions would include Pre-padded text and auto-print.

61 Mark Text Staring Position: The ^Axx specifies which text field to start
entering new data. This is useful for creating variable text fields after a string
of fixed text fields. If set to a value of 2, the first line of new text entered
following the ^D2 will overwrite line two. If two new text strings are entered,
the existing text lines two and three will be overwritten. This command is used
when fixed data is used much like a template and only the variable data is to
change.
62 Pre-padded Text: This command is used to pre-pad text data. Any data
already loaded into a field will be retained if the ^D62 command is sent. The
following is an example of Pre=padded text:
^D57
3,575,609,,25,35,0,1,285,0,0
1,300,500,7,1,5
2,300,400,7,1,5

on the label.
