format-number,
[ quantity ]
[

Process The PRINT command images and prints the format specified by
format-number
.
Format-number
contains a format number between 0 and 999. Numbers greater
than 255 cannot be constants. If
format-number
equals 0, the same image prints.
Use this method to avoid reimaging the data.
Quantity
represents the number of labels to print. The printer pauses before
printing each label. However, the printer does not pause when you use
CONTINUOUS and
quantity
is greater than 1; it prints one strip with the number of
labels in
quantity
.
Quantity
can be 1-99 (the default is 1).
Format-number
and
quantit
y can be one of the following:
