Terms to Know
Review the following list of terms before you read this manual.

format, the number of copies, and the data for printing.
Continuous mode Operation mode in which the printer dispenses labels in
a continuous strip.
Data stream Sequence of one or more RCL commands.
Decrementing fields Fields where data decreases by one for each label in a
batch.

inch on the printer. You measure it across the width of
the printhead.

fields.
Incrementing fields Fields where data increases by one for each label in a

them. The printer detects these marks or apertures to
determine proper supply registration. Non-indexed
supplies do not have these marks or apertures.

this axis to position a field up or down on a supply. The
maximum length is 1015 dots (5 inches).

one at a time. The operator must press [Feed] to print
each one.
Sleep mode The printer enters a low power state when it has been
inactive for a specified period of time. It “awakens”
when it receives a transmission or the operator presses
[ON/OFF]. See the Operator’s Handbook for more
information.
