you can cut the label. You can turn this feature off, so that 
multiple labels will print continuously. See 

Pausing 

Between Labels

 on page 15.

Hot Keys

A number of Hot Keys are available for creating 
specific types of labels, adding barcodes, and 
formatting text. These Hot Keys are described in detail 
later in this User Guide.

Working with Labels

of labels can be created manually by adding labels to the 
current label or automatically using serialization. See

 on page 12 for information 

about using serialization.

Creating a Label

The printer remembers the last label that you were 
working on when the power was turned off. You need to 
clear that label text and formatting before you create a 
new label.
