NOTES:
1. Stop immediately:
When a label end or ribbon end is detected in the middle of printing, printing is immediately stopped.
When the printing is restarted, first the initial feed is performed, then the printer starts printing from the
unfinished label.
2. Complete current:
The “Complete current” is valid only when the ribbon save function is set to OFF. Even when the ribbon
save function is enabled, the behavior of the “Stop immediately” will be automatically performed
regardless of the setting. The printer behavior of the “Complete current” at the detection of label end and
ribbon end is as follows.
(1) Label end detection
Printer behavior
When a label end is detected in the middle of printing, the printer completes the half-finished printing
and stops when the next label is at the home position, displaying the error message.
* Printing of the half-finished label is completed.

The remaining number of labels
[Specified number of labels]
[The number of finished labels at the time of printing stop (including the
half-finished label)]
If a label end is detected while the last one of the specified number of labels is printed, the remaining
number of labels on the LCD will be blank.
Printer behavior at restart
When the printing is restarted, first the initial feed is performed, then the printer starts printing from the
next label. In case the label end was detected while the last one of the specified number of labels was
printed, only the initial feed is performed, and if the status response has been set to ON, an issue end
status is sent after a feed end status.
