• When closing the top cover, be careful not to pinch your fingers. • When the Label Waste Prevention function is enabled, an error occurs if the leading edge of the media extends too far from the media discharge outlet. Align the leading edge of the media with the media discharge outlet.
About the Label Waste Prevention Function Settings to Match the Media About the Label Waste Prevention Function The Label Waste Prevention function allows you to print on the first label by aligning the loaded label with the print start position. This allows you to prevent waste of labels that occurs by feeding several blank labels to align positions.

2. If the amount of printing remaining is less than the distance between the print head position and paper end sensor - 20 mm (0.79"), a paper end error occurs after completing the output of 1. If the amount of printing remaining is more than the distance between the print head position and paper end sensor - 20 mm (0.79"), a paper end error occurs right after detecting the paper end, and the product will reprint after clearing the paper end error.
Page 158
Conditions That Trigger Paper End • When the Amount of Printing Remaining Is More Than the Amount of Media Remaining If the amount of printing remaining is more than the amount of media remaining when a paper end error is detected, the product cannot finish the print job. Printing stops immediately and a paper end error occurs.
Page 159
If there are multiple sheets between the print head and paper end sensor when a paper end error is detected, the paper end error occurs after feeding the media that is remaining. A paper end error also occurs if the position of the last edge that was detected reaches the print head position while the remaining media is being fed.
Conditions That Trigger Ribbon End (Thermal Transfer Only) Conditions That Trigger Ribbon End (Thermal Transfer Only) Ribbon end error is detected by the ribbon sensor in the ribbon supply spindle. Ribbon end error occurs when the product detects that the ribbon in the ribbon supply spindle has not moved (rolled) more than 40 mm (1.57") after feeding the media.
Conditions That Trigger Ribbon Near End (Thermal Transfer Only) Ribbon near end is detected by the ribbon sensor in the ribbon supply spindle. Ribbon near end occurs when the amount of ribbon remaining is approximately less than 5 to 7 m (16.4 to 23.0 feet) (ribbon diameter: approximately 18 mm (0.71")).
