Why is ZPL command ^PQ not working for multiples copies?

I've created my ZPL string and at the very end appended ^PQ+numCopies. Debugger shows the whole string correct with ^PQ3 at the end. But the printer only prints 1 copy.

Printer is a 110Xi4 and the onboard configuration shows it's in ZPL II mode.

Thanks

The ^PQ3 needs to be before the ^XZ, not after it. the ^XZ should be the last thing in the label
