❚❚❚ Main Features ❚❚❚
<Hi h-speed, hi h-quality printin >
This p inte can be used fo high-speed high-quality p inting thanks to its di ect the mal method
and the mal t ansfe method that use a line the mal p inthead togethe with its 32 bit RISC CPU
and its 'histo y cont ol IC'.
<Easy operation>
• It is easy to change the p inte ’s settings on the ope ation panel, thanks to its unique and
simple VueP int menu system.
• Its high-lift p inthead and mechanism means that media and ibbon can be loaded with ease
and it is const ucted fo easy the mal p inthead cleaning, etc.
• Media width adjustment, media thickness adjustment, and media senso adjustment can all be
made easily by the use using the colou -coded ope ato cont ols.
<Interface>
A se ial po t, IEEE1284 pa allel po t (ECP mode) and USB a e standa d equipment, fo quick data
t ansfe and p inting.
<Optional interface>
The p inte s have optional inte nally housed netwo k inte faces.
<Optional auto-cutter / peeler unit>
The auto-cutte and peele units a e designed so that they can be installed easily.
<Adjustable sensors>
The adjustable media senso s - which allow the senso s to be positioned in diffe ent locations
ac oss the media - a e standa d featu es making the p inte ideal fo use with special media.

FCC COMPLIANCE STATEMENT
FOR AMERICAN USERS
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits fo a Class A digital device,
pu suant to Pa t 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits a e designed to p ovide easonable p otection
against ha mful inte fe ence when the equipment is ope ated in a comme cial envi onment. This
equipment gene ates, uses, and can adiate adio f equency ene gy and, if not installed and used in
acco dance with the inst uction manual, may cause ha mful inte fe ence to adio communications.
Ope ation of this equipment in a esidential a ea is likely to cause ha mful inte fe ence in which case
the use will be equi ed to co ect the inte fe ence at his own expense.

f om digital appa atus set out in the Radio Inte fe ence Regulations of the Canadian Depa tment of
Communications. This equipment is designed to p ovide easonable p otection against such
inte fe ence in a esidential installation. Howeve , the e is no gua antee that inte fe ence will not
occu in a pa ticula installation. If this equipment does cause inte fe ence to adio o television
eception, which can be dete mined by tu ning the equipment off and on, the use is encou aged to
t y to co ect the inte fe ence by one o mo e of the following measu es:
•Reo ient o elocate the eceiving antenna.
•Inc ease the sepa ation between the equipment and eceive .
•Connect the equipment into an outlet on a ci cuit diffe ent f om that to which the eceive is
connected.

1PAUSE key: Temporarily pauses printing
• When this key is pushed once, the PRIN LED turns off and the printer
temporarily pauses.
• When it is pushed during printing, the printer pauses after the label
currently being printed is issued. Pressing the key a second time restarts
printing and the remaining number of designated labels are printed.
2FEE key: Feeds media
• Pressing this key feeds media to the print start position. he distance
it is fed is determined by automatically detecting the front end of the
media when using label media, and when continuous media has been
designated, a fixed quantity is fed, then feeding stops.
• When the EAR OFF setting is effective, feeding stops when the media
has been fed to the EAR OFF location.
