number of cuts following a Top of Form. Count resets and begins count at TOF or following
the point where the command is given.

5.10 Dispensing Commands
Dispensing commands are commands that advance the media for cutting, tear off, or
presenting and then retract the media to a home position so that media is not wasted.
These dispense commands include Peel-n-Dispense, Tag/Tear, Cutter commands, and
optional media handling commands as well. The following commands define these types of
operations. Most of the dispensing commands require that the printer is configured with an
optional Label Present Detector.
5.10.1 Tag/Tear Operation
This command controls a method of dispensing the media so that the perforation between
labels is positioned on the tear bar or peel edge. Once the label is taken, the label media
retracts and allows proper registration of the next label print. Once the label is taken, the
label media retracts and allows proper registration of the next label print.
