Can't seem to get the cutter to move to desired position. Can set printer config. manually but want to include the tear-off as part of the label format. Trying the TA but not having any success. Any ideas?

How do I code Tear-off in ZPL II?

It the ~TA command isn't working for you, do you perhaps have the ^XB command in force that suppresses backfeed?
If so try removing ^XB and see if your problems go away.

No, no XB present. Here's the code I'm trying to no avail. Note the TA+56.

I'm not sure what the punctuation character is before each command as displayed here. Make sure you are using ~TA with a tilde in the real file.
The only thing that comes to mind is that you may have to pad the distance with a 0 to make it 3 digits, So try...
~TA+056
or
~TA056
Maybe it doesn't like the "+"

I just tried ~TA056 on my printer and it advanced the label about 1/4 inch.

For some reason, our label software (TL Ashford) replaces the carat with that other character. I'd actually discovered that I needed a tilde for the TA prior to your reply.
But it was the 3 digits that did the trick. I just assumed that it was a max of 3 digits, not a requirement. I saw that other commands worked that way. But as long as it works, I'm happy.
The resolution was:
¬XA~TA056¬FS¬XZ
Thanks for your help. You're a genuis!
