2- 9
2.7 Loading the Media (Cont.) 8. There are two issue modes available on this printer.
Batch mode:
In the batch mode, the media is continuously printed and fed until the
number of issues specified in the label issue command has been printed.
If the loaded media is direct thermal media (a chemically treated surface),
the media loading procedure is now complete. Close the ribbon shaft
holder plate, and turn the head lever and the pinch roller lever to position
to close. Then, close the top cover.
If the media is a standard media, it is also necessary to load a ribbon.
Refer to the section, 2.8 Loading the Ribbon.
Strip mode:
In strip mode, as each label is printed the backing paper is automatically
removed from the label at the strip plate.
(1) Set the ribbon shaft holder plate, and turn the head lever and the
pinch roller lever to position to close.
(2) Remove enough labels from the leading edge of the media to leave
500 mm of backing paper free.
(3) Push the pinch roller release lever toward the front of the printer to
release the strip pinch roller unit.

CAUTION!
To separate the printed
media from the media roll
in batch mode, be sure to
tear off the media at the
strip shaft or cut the media
past the strip shaft.
However, if you tear off
the media at the print
head by mistake, be sure
to feed one label (10 mm
or more) with the [FEED]
key prior to next issue.
Failure to do this may
cause a paper jam.
