Reprints the last label exactly, with no increment or time stamp changes; use it for error
conditions. Always keeping this signal LOW will result in non-stop printing.
[3]
If active with no current print job, “WAITING FOR DATA” is displayed. Specifying a quantity of 9999
while always keeping this signal “On” will cause non-stop label printing, except in single label mode
(see Imaging Mode, Section 4.2.5 of the A-Class Operator’s Manual), which will cause the printer to
stop between labels.
