Label Formatting Command Functions
112 Class Series Programmer’s Manual
c Set Cut By Amount
This command is the same as the ‘:’ command except only a two-digit value can be entered. This
command allows a predetermined number of labels to be printed before a cut is made. 1 to 99 labels
may be printed before a cut is made.
Syntax:
cnn
Where:
nn
- Is a two-digit number indicating the number of labels to be
printed before a cut is made. The default is one.

The sample instructs the printer to make cuts after labels 7, 14, and 21 have been printed. See Label
Formatting Command ‘:’.
Note: The cutter must be enabled and all mechanism interlocks closed for the cut operation.
D Set Dot Size Width and Height
This command is used to change the size of a printed dot, hence the print resolution – dots per inch
(DPI) of the print head. By changing the height of a dot, the maximum length of a label can be
increased or decreased. For the element sizes see Appendix K.
Syntax:
Dwh
Where:
w
- Is Dot Width multiplier 1 or 2.
h
- Is Dot Height multiplier 1, 2, or 3.
Note: D11 is the default value for 300, 400 and 600 DPI printer models, while D22 is the default value for
all 203 DPI printer models.
