-99to 99 in 1/192 inch (9446/1460). 0 is the default. Adjusts the machine to print at the vertical 0,0 point on the supply. This adjustment accounts for mechanical tolerances from machine to machine. The supply position adjustment only needs to be made on the initial machine setup. Increase the supply position to move print up, decrease to move print down on the label. Print a test label to verify the 0,0 point. Changing the supply position affects the print position. Once the supply position is set, use the print control packet to adjust printing.

B6. cut_posn -99to 99 in 1/192 inch. Use 0 (no knife on these printers).

See "Defaults" for the default values on each printer.
