Operation
•Holding the FEED button down will cause the printer to continuously Form Feed until the button is released. The printer will feed the media until the next top of form is reached.
•Holding the FEED button without media loaded will cause the printer to continuously (line) feed until the button is released or me- dia is detected. This is useful when reloading media in the printer and is also known as “Power Media Loading”.
•Holding the FEED button down while pow- ering up the printer with media loaded will cause the printer to enter the AutoSense mode. See AutoSense on page 33 for impor- tant details.
Always run the AutoSense procedure when loading new batch or type of media. Media from the same manufacturing lot and having identical dimensions do not need to have the AutoSense procedure run every time new media is loaded.
The Form Feed length is set by printer programming ( Q ) command in EPL2 programming language or the AutoSense feature, an automatic label and gap length sensing operation. See AutoSense, page 33.
Continuous media with no label gaps, containing black marks or notch holes, require programming to set the form length and feed distance.
