^XB

^XB

The
^XB
 command suppresses forward feed of media to tear-off position depending on the current printer mode. Because no forward feed occurs, a backfeed before printing of the next label is not necessary; this improves throughput. When printing a batch of labels, the last label should not contain this command.
