Feeding Blank Labels   

To feed a label you press the FEED button if there is no image in the 

printer buffer. To clear the image buffer you must press and hold the 

FEED button for at least 5 seconds and then release the FEED button.   

Label Reprint   

If the last label printed has not been cleared from the printer buffer, 

pressing the FEED button causes the last printed label to be 

reprinted.  

Sending Data to the Printer   

To print labels using data sent from a host computer or terminal:   

1. 

Connect the host and printer serial or parallel ports together using a 

correctly wired interface cable (refer to the wiring information).   

2. 

If you are using the serial port, confirm that the host and printer are 

using the same communication parameters.   

3. 

Confirm that the POWER indicator is lit and the ERROR indicator 

is off.   

4. 

Send your data to the printer.
