1PAUSE key: Temporarily pauses printing

When this key is pushed once, the LCD indicates "Pause" and the printer temporarily pauses.

When it is pushed during printing, the printer pauses after the label currently being printed is issued. Pressing the key a second time restarts printing and the remaining number of designated labels are printed.

2FEED key: Feeds media

Pressing this key feeds media to the print start position. The distance it is fed is determined by automatically detecting the front end of the media when using label media, and when continuous media has been designated, a fixed quantity is fed, then feeding stops.

When the TEAR OFF setting is effective, feeding stops when the media has been fed to the TEAR OFF location.

When the optional cutter unit is installed, the media is fed to the cut position then it is cut.

Regardless of whether there is or is not a cut operation setting on the setting menu, if the unit is installed, the media is cut each time it is fed.

If the optional peeler unit is installed, the media is fed to the peeling location. When the media is pausing at the peeling position, feeding does not occur, even if the FEED key is pushed.

3STOP key: It stops printing and cancels the alarm

Pushing this key once during printing puts the printer in pause mode after the label is issued. It is possible to cancel 1 batch of label issuing data by pressing the STOP key for 4 seconds or longer in pause status. (The LCD indicates "Job Clear" during cancel.)

4MENU key:

In normal operation, this key will enter the menu configuration mode. It can be configured to repeat the previous label, if preferred.
