^MCMap Clear

Controls whether the bitmap is cleared after each label.

What ^MC does

^MC decides if the internal image buffer is erased between labels. It is normally left on (Y); turning it off can composite successive labels, which is rarely wanted.

Syntax

Notes & tips

Leave at Y for normal printing.
N keeps the previous image in the buffer.
