[Supplementary Explanation]
- Delimit Start Code <A> and Stop Code <Z> with this command. When specifying this command
with the same item as print data, the command will be ignored.
- When setting [Feed direction] to [1: Backfeed], length of label feed needs to be checked. If this
length is very long, it may cause overlapped prints or label may fall off the platen and result in
detection error as paper-end.
- When setting [Thermal transfer] to [Print method], length of label backfeed needs to be under 30
mm. If 30 mm or more is specified, it may result in detection error as ribbon end. And also, avoid
consecutive specification of label feed command for backfeed.
- In Tear-off/Cutter mode, do not attempt to backfeed right after cutting and dispensing label.
- The feeding speed is fixed for 4inches/sec when media feed length is specified.
- When omitting [Feed length] in forward feed, product motion will be similar to label feed motion
when pressing the FEED key in offline state.
- Label feed motion with this command will be activated at the time of online.
- Control of feed motion by external signal is not available.
- When omitting [Feed length] in backfeed, label feed will not be performed due to command
error.
- When the sensor is disabled in continuous mode, <IK>0 (omission of [Feed length]) will not feed
labels.
- When the specified feed value is outside of valid range, printing will not be performed due to
command error.
- Actual feed distance may be different from the set value according to the individual difference of
each product, supplies and operating environment. Recommend to adjust the feed value before
operation.
[Valid Range]
Feed length when media feed direction is forward: 72 to 2400 dots
Feed length when media feed direction is backward: 72 to 420 dots
