- 89 - [Handling of label papers having the label pitch of less than 22 mm in cut issue mode] 
The minimum label pitch in normal cut issue mode is 22.0 mm.    When a label paper having the 
label pitch of less than 22.0 mm is used (although it is out of specification), an edge of a label is 
caught by an edge of the thermal head during a reverse feed to the home position after the 
paper is cut in a gap area between labels.    This may prevent the label from being fed back to 
the proper home position....

Assuming the label gap is 2 mm, the print stop position in strip 
issue mode is designed in a manner so that printing stops 
when the distance from the middle of the gap between labels to 
the end of the strip shaft is 4 mm. 
When the gap is more than 2 mm and the above-mentioned 
print stop position is not proper, the print stop position should 
be adjusted using the strip position fine adjust function.

 NOTE:  There may be cases where a label is not returned to the home position depending 
on the print conditions, even if a reverse feed amount is the same as a forward 
feed amount.   
When an operation including reverse feed (cut issue, strip issue, forward feed 
standby after an issue) is performed using a sensor, a label/tag may not be 
returned to the home position resulting an error, if the label pitch length is...

- 95 - Supplementary explanations 
  •  When the [RESTART] and [FEED] keys are pressed at the same time, the display shows 
the system mode menu. 
  •  If the [RESTART] or [FEED] key is held down for 0.5 seconds when a fine adjustment 
value is being set, the printer enters repeat mode, in which the key is entered repeatedly. 
  •  A changed fine adjustment value is stored in memory by pressing the [PAUSE] key. 
  •  The printer is controlled by a sum of a fine adjustment parameter value programmed on...
