3-1. FEED button
When you press the FEED button, the printer moves the label to the defined stop
position. If you are using continuous labels, pressing the FEED button will move label
stock until you release the button again. If you are using individual labels, pressing the
FEED button will move only one label. If the label does not stop at the correct position,
you need to run the auto-detection function on the label stock (see Section 3-3).
3-2. LED status
Press the FEED button and keep it pressed, then switch on the printer. You will hear two
beeps and the LED lights up red. Release the FEED button. The printer will now
automatically measure the label size (see Section 4-3.) and then print a test page (see
Section 4-4.)
