SOUND - Printer Beeper
Plain English
Triggers the printer's beeper for a tone at the specified level and duration. TSPL2 PG §SOUND p28. `level` is the sound level / tone (0–9, 10 discrete steps), `interval` is the timing control (1–4095). Chain multiple SOUND lines to play a tune. No visual rendering effect — runtime hardware behaviour. Useful for signalling end-of-batch or alerting the operator.
When to use
To signal job completion (e.g. end of a long print batch) or to alert the operator (e.g. after `SET HEAD OFF` debugging). Place anywhere in the label script.
