The FEED Control
The FEED control is used to feed labels when
the printer is in the ON power mode.
Tapping
the FEED control will cause the paper to ad-
vance to the top of the next label. This condi-
tion is referred to as a Form Feed.
Holding
the
FEED control will cause the printer to continu-
ously Form Feed until the control is released.
Holding
the FEED control while printing will
cancel
the current print job. Any labels not yet
printed will be lost.
The FEED control can also be used to manually
“wake” the printer.
Tapping
the FEED control
when the printer is in the SLEEP MODE will
cause the printer to switch to the ON mode.
Loading Labels
or Tags
Your printer can print on continuous direct
thermal paper, direct thermal adhesive backed
labels or non-adhesive tags.
If adhesive backed labels are used that
DO
NOT
lay flat on the backing liner, the exposed
edges may stick to the printhead inside the
printer, causing the label to peel off from the
liner and jam the printer. Always use high
quality, Eltron approved labels. Supplies can
be ordered from ELTRON by calling
1(800)
344-4003.
If you should run out of labels while printing,
DO NOT
remove the battery while reloading
or data loss may result. The printer will
automatically resume printing when a new
label roll is loaded.
