4.4.3.1.  Stopping the Printing 

The printing can be terminated in two parallel and independent ways: 

•

 With 

the 

STOP PRINTING

 command selected on the terminal. 

•

 With 

the 

PRINT ON/OFF

 key on the operation-panel function pad (when the key 

is pressed, the 

STOP PRINTING

 command is executed). The key can be used no 

matter where the cursor is positioned within the control menu (for example, you 
can stop the printing while editing a subfile). 

To stop the printing follow the procedure below. 
In the main MENU select the 

PRINTING

 item and then the 

STOP PRINTING

 item. 

or 

Press the 

PRINT ON/OFF

 key on the operation panel. 

If the command is selected while the printer is in the 

print

 mode, the current print job 

finishes and no other label is printed. The printer switches to the 

stop

 mode. 

If the printing is to be interrupted immediately (the current print job is not to be 
completed), use the 

QUICK STOP

 command 

4.4.3.2.  Starting the Printing 

The printing can be initiated in two parallel and independent ways: 

•

 With 

the 

START PRINT

 command selected on the terminal. 

•

 With 

the 

PRINT ON/OFF

 key on the operation-panel function pad. When the key 

is pressed, the latest subfile is printed. The key can be used no matter where the 
cursor is positioned within the control menu (for example, you can start the 
printing while editing a subfile). 

The printing is started in the following way. In the main MENU select the 

PRINTING

 

item and then the 

START PRINT

 item. 

 

You are prompted to specify a text file name. Type in an up to 8-character name and 
confirm, or alternatively, you can press the 

¨

 key. 

 

The display shows the text file library from which you should select the name of a text 
file to be printed (selection facilities are described in section 

4.4.1.1 Introduction to 

Text Files

). 

If the printer is ready to print (the 

stop

 mode), then the printing starts as soon as the 

subfile name has been selected. The printer switches to the 

print

 mode.
