Mechanical Error

: If the printer mechanism has a greater load due to a paper jam, etc., the buzzer

 

will sound and the ERROR lamp will blink to stop the printer mechanism.

Paper End

: If the paper has run out, the paper sensor in the paper path near the print head

 

will detect the end of the paper roll, turn on the buzzer, and illuminate the

 

ERROR lamp to stop the printer mechanism. If the paper is inserted into the

 

paper path, the paper roll will be loaded. (See 4.7 Inserting the Paper)

Paper Near End

: If the paper is running out, the paper near end sensor will be activated to turn on

 

the buzzer and make the ERROR lamp blink. Even after the paper near end is

 

detected, a command can be used to print by the specified number of lines. (See

 

a description on the command for setting the number of print lines after paper

 

near end detection)

Cutter Motor Lock

: If the cutter position detection sensor in the cutter unit is left turned on or off

(iDP3421/23 only)

for approx. 1 second while the cutter motor is running, cutter operation and

 

printing will be suspended, determining it to be motor lock.

3.FEED switch

If this switch is pressed once for a short time, the paper will be fed by 1 line. If it is held down, the paper will be fed continuously.

4.FEED switch and Power switch

When the power is turned on, the printer follows the operation flow at "power-on" on the next page, depending on how the FEED switch is operated.
