8.5.1 MEDIA LOAD
OFF Media loading function is disabled. (Same as a feed by press the [FEED] key)
STD When the [FEED] key is pressed after the printer is turned on, reset by a batch reset
command, or the print head is closed, the printer feeds the media to detect the next
gap/black mark. When the gap/black mark is detected, the printer feeds the media for
the distance from the sensor to the print start position.
ECO When the [FEED] key is pressed after the printer is reset by a batch reset command or
the print head is closed, the printer feeds the media to detect the next gap/black mark.
When the gap/black mark is detected, the printer feeds the media, which is positioned
nearest from the print head, to the print start position. At this time, the feed length is
calculated based on the stored media pitch.
ECO+Backfeed After performing above-mentioned ECO, the printer feeds the media backward for the
label pitch length while raising the print head if the following conditions are satisfied.
Notes: 1. This function is enabled only when the sensor type is set to other than “None”.
2. Conditions for enabling ECO + Backfeed
3. In the case the printer cannot detect a gap/black mark while feeding the media, an error occurs on the
following condition. Regarding an error during a feed, refer to the External Equipment Interface
Specification for the BA400 series
When the relation between the stored media pitch (A) and the media pitch
detected by the sensor (B) does not satisfy the following formula, it will be an
error:
(A) × 50% (B) (A) × 150%
