DT, Define Label Terminator
This command specifies the character to be used as the label
terminator and whether it is printed. Use DT to define a new label
terminator if you desire a different one or if your computer cannot use
the default (ETX, decimal code 3).
DT label terminator[,mode;]
or
DT;
The character immediately following DT is interpreted to be the
new label terminator. You must terminate all Label (LB) commands
following a DT command with the specified label terminator.
z No Parameter— Defaults the label terminator to ETX (not a
semicolon) and the mode to non-printing (1).
z Label Terminator— Specifies the label terminator as the
character immediately following the DT mnemonic. (If you
use a space between the mnemonic and the label terminator
parameter the space becomes the label terminator.)
