^ZZ — Printer Sleep

Shuts a battery-powered printer down after the given idle time (PA400/PT400 only). It does not affect the preview.

Syntax^ZZt,b

In the preview

This command is a printer setting: the preview recognises it and skips it, because it does not change how the label looks. Its effect shows on the real printer.

Example

^ZZ60,N
