From this point in the Configuration Report listing, it lists sensor settings and values used to troubleshoot sensor and media operations. These are typically used by Zebra Tech Support to diagnose printer problems.
The configuration settings shown below appear after the
TAKE LABEL
 sensor value on the Configuration Report. These listings represent printer features that are seldom changed from their defaults or provide only status information.

The printer has the ability to set a command or a group of commands once for all receipts (or labels) that follow. Those settings will remain in effect until they are changed by subsequent commands, the printer is reset, or you restore factory defaults.
