Operation
Start Printing
The printer powers up in Ready mode. Ready mode indicates the printer is
ready to accept data and start printing.
Printing Multiple Batches
When printing a batch of labels or tags, the printer will pause just before the
last label(s) or tag(s) in the batch are printed. When the next batch is sent to
the printer, the printer will automatically un-pause and print the remaining
label(s) or tag(s) of the first batch and all but the final label(s) or tag(s) from
the second batch. This feature minimizes the number of blank labels or tags
that would otherwise be ejected if the printer were to finish printing and
ejecting the entire batch.
When the printer has paused itself near the end of a batch, you can
immediately finish printing and ejecting the labels or tags by pressing the
Pause key.
When a cutter or cutter/stacker accessory is used in conjunction with the
printer, it is normal to have one tag cut shorter than normal and one cut
longer than normal as a result of the printer pausing between batches.
Note: This feature can be disabled, if desired. For detailed information about
this process, please contact QuickLabel Systems Technical Support.
Print/Pause
At any point, printing can be paused. Toggle the printer On/Off by pressing
the Pause/Print button.
If the printer is paused while printing a batch, the batch must be cancelled
before another label or test pattern is printed.
Advance Media
Press the Form Feed/Advance button once and release to advance the media
by one label length. Press and hold the pushbutton to continually advance
the media.
If the printer has not been calibrated, the media will not advance and a menu
will be displayed prompting you to perform a printer calibration.
