[. . . ] If the print area is less than 8 mm, printing is performed by automatically assuming the minimum print area of 8 mm. Ribbon saving is performed for up to 4 fields (Max: 4 printing fields + 4 ribbon saving fields). When the parameter in the Issue Command is set to "Without ribbon saving function", or the ribbon saving system is set in the system mode so that it is not used, no ribbon saving will take place. NOTES: 1. To use the ribbon saving function, it is necessary to select the parameter depending on the head lever position. This selection is performed by the parameter settings in the system mode. Head lever position is "TAG": Select "RBN SAVE ON(TAG)" Head lever position is "LABEL": Select "RBN SAVE ON(LBL)" Incorrect selection may disable the proper ribbon saving function. When the head lever position is "TAG" and solenoid type is TYPE1, the thermal head is pulled up with strong power. So, depending on the area in which the ribbon is saved and the number of fields, the head-up solenoid temperature may be raised and the ribbon saving function may not be able to work. Therefore, when the area in which the ribbon is to be saved exceeds the specified value, the ribbon saving length is automatically shortened, as described on the following page, to prevent the temperature from being raised, even if the above conditions are satisfied. If the ribbon saving module has not been installed, when the parameter in the Issue Command is set to "With ribbon saving function", or the ribbon saving system is set in the system mode so that it is used, the ribbon will sag during printing. Without ribbon (with head up function): Use direct thermal paper. When there is a non-print area, the print head is raised in the same way with the ribbon save function. - 174 - Correction for the ribbon saving area (in case of TAG and solenoid TYPE 1): Printing area ABCDE ABCDE Printing area Correct so that the head is lowered to at least 50% of the label pitch length (Solenoid OFF).

In the batch mode and the cut mode, the print end status response is made after printing on the designated number of labels. In the strip mode, the status response is made after printing one label. * Do not change the parameter for status response/no status response during printing. Otherwise the status response may not be performed properly.

Reflective sensor: Feeding takes place according to the parameter designated by the Label Size Set Command. However, the black mark provided on the back side of the tag paper is automatically sensed by the reflective sensor and the stop position is finely adjusted. Transmissive sensor (when using normal labels): Feeding takes place according to the parameter designated by the Label Size Set Command.
