odometer.media_marker_count
type: getvar; setvar
This parameter refers to the media marker count. The media marker counter keeps track of how many
labels have passed through the printer, (wether or not they have been printed) by counting the bar sense
marks on the back of the media. (Contrast this to the “odometer.user_label_count” parameter below.) The
media marker count can be set to an initial value and is incremented every time a label is printed or fed.
