^JZ - Reprint After Error

Overview

The ^JZ command is used to automatically reprint a partially printed label that was interrupted due to a Ribbon Out, Media Out, or Head Open error condition. The label will be reprinted as soon as the error condition is corrected. This instruction sets the error recovery mode for the printer and remains active until another ^JZ instruction is sent or the printer is powered down.
