job by pressing the switch again. Activation of the

label printing is complete; turn on the Pause Light;

balance, and; hold all data in memory. Pressing
the switch a second time will: restart the Printer;
print the balance of labels on the counter unless
interrupted, and; turn ‘off’ the Pause Indicator.
Stop/Cancel Button: This Button allows the operator to stop and cancel
a run of labels in the process of being produced
and continue on to the next run in the Printer’s
buffer.
Feed Button: Pressing the Feed Button causes the paper to
automatically advance to the first print position of
the next label. On a new size label, multiple labels

Light: label and/or ribbon is not detected
Transfer on Switch: This switch should be in the ‘off’ position for
Direct-Thermal Printing and in the ‘on’ position
for Thermal-Transfer Printing. When on, it has
two functions: the ribbon sensor is enabled, and;
the Printhead temperature is reduced, since most
Thermal-Transfer Printing does not require as
much heat as Direct-Thermal Printing.
Darkness Control This potentiometer (POT) is used to fine adjust
POT: darkness to variations in the media.
