zMode— Specifies whether the label terminator is printed.

0— The label terminator prints if it is a printable character and performs its function if it is a control code.

1— (Default) The label terminator does not print if it is a printing character and does not perform its function if it is a control code.

A DT command remains in effect until another DT command is executed, or the printer is initialized or set to default conditions.

The following command shows how to define and print using a non-printing label terminator:

DT#;LBThe label terminator WILL NOT print.#;

This command would print as:

The label terminator WILL NOT print.

This example shows how to define and use a printable label terminator:

DT#,0;LBThe label terminator WILL print.#;

This command would print as:

The label terminator WILL print.#

For another example using the DT command, see the example in the Character Plot (CP) command discussion.
