Printing in On-Demand Mode ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

In On-demand mode, the printer prints one label at a time. After the first label prints, the printer waits for you to remove the label before it prints the next label. For On-demand printing, your labels must be loaded in peel mode.

On-demand mode is the default mode for the printer (the LED is solid green). If the LED is solid amber, the printer is in Continuous mode. To switch to On-demand mode, ask your System Administrator to re-configure the printer.

To print labels on demand:

n Use only paper labels in peel mode.

1.Load the labels for peel mode. See Chapter 2, "Loading Supplies."

2.Make sure the host has downloaded a print job. See the MPCL II Programmer’s Manual for more information. After the print job is downloaded, the LED rapidly blinks green (1/4 sec) to indicate the printer is ready to print.

3.Press the trigger to print the label.

4.After each label prints, remove it.
