The functions of the control panel lamps and keys are explained.
Do not turn the power on until the label materials have been set.
Indicator Lamps
READY ...........................The READY lamp lights (green) while the label printer is on.
If the LOCAL key is pressed, the green lamp goes off when the menu screen appears.
DATA ..............................The DATA lamp flashes (red) when the label printer receives data. The red lamp lights when
data is saved in the internal memory. When data has been cleared (or there is no data), the red
lamp goes off

TOOL COND. .................Switch to the Cutting Conditions Menu in the READY screen.
CROSSCUT ...................Crosscut media (horizontal cutting) in the READY screen.

screen in the menu.
Notes on the Use of the FEED Key
• When sending label materials normally, unset the ribbon lever.
• When label materials (media) are sent with the FEED key, the labels that are partway through printing cannot be
completed normally. If the labels partway through printing need to be completed, carry out the "OUTPUT ALL"
operation instead of the FEED key.
• After sending label media with the FEED key, carry out the initial transfer system action prior to the next printing. The
label materials (media) can then be sent. Be careful as there will be wasted and blank labels.
