2) Start and end of self print
Self-print starts by closing the platen or platen open/close lever while holding the feed switch
on when platen or platen open/close lever is open. It ends when the specified print pattern is
printed. The printer is in the off-line mode during self-printing. If the specified print pattern is
not printed, turn the power switch off and on, then try it again. When data buffer has data
remained, the self-print starts after printing the data first.

4.8 Buffer full print
If there still remains printing data after one line of data is received, the printer automatically
prints preceding data. Buffer full data status varies according to ANK mode or bit image
mode.
