5.2 KEY FUNCTIONS
[POWER] key (1) Turns the printer power on from a power off state and initializes the printer.
(2) Performs various parameter settings.
[FEED] key: (1) Feeds or ejects 1 label. This key is also used to adjust a label to a proper
position. When the label is not properly positioned, feed 1 or 2 blank labels
using this key before printing so that the printer can start printing at the proper
position.
(2) Prints data in the image buffer on one label (depending on TPCL1 mode or
LABEL mode).
NOTE: During printing initiated by the [FEED] key, a Clear command or a
drawing command should not be sent from the host device,
otherwise the resulting printout will not be satisfactory showing an
incorrect layout. The same may happen if the [FEED] key is
pressed to start printing while data is being drawn in the image
buffer.
(3) Performs a forced strip issue in strip wait state.
(4) Programs a threshold value.
[PAUSE] key: (1) Stops printing temporarily and resumes printing.
(2) Resumes printing after clearing an error.
