^PR
Print Rate
Description: The ^PR command determines the media speed during printing and the
slew speed (feeding a blank label).
The printer will operate with the selected speeds until the setting is reissued or the
printer is turned off.
The print speed is application-specific. Since print quality is affected by media and
ribbon, printing speeds and printer operating modes, it is very important to run tests
for your applications.
