Issue mode that continuously prints media until the specified number of media has been printed.

Black mark

A mark printed on the media so that the printer can maintain a constant print position by detecting this mark.

Black mark sensor

A reflective sensor which detects the difference of potential between the black mark and print area to find the print start position.

Built-in rewinder mode

Printer mode of operation where an optional strip module is installed to take up printed media onto the build-in rewinder.

Cut mode

Printer mode of operation where an optional cutter module is installed to automatically cut media from the supply roll after they are printed. The print command can specify to cut every media or to cut after a set number of media have been printed.
