Plain English

Toggles the printer's tear-off behaviour (TSPL2 PG §SET p143–144; alias STRIPER on some models). When ON, the printer advances each label past the tear bar after printing so the operator can tear it off cleanly; when OFF, the label stops at the print head. Persistent across power cycles.

When to use

For tear-bar-equipped printers when the deployment requires the print head to advance the label for clean tearing.

Syntax

SET TEAR ON | SET TEAR OFF
