(Supplementary Explanation) 
(1) When printing is performed in this mode, a quick reset is performed. 
Performing a quick reset causes the print count (num ber of labels issued) to be reset to zero and the 
image buffer to be cleared. When the automatic calibra tion is enabled, a calibration is performed after a 
quick reset. When the automatic call at power on par ameter is enabled in the Saved data call command, 
saved data will be called after a quick reset. 
(2) Previous print conditions are applied to  the printing performed in this mode, except: 
•  Printing direction 
When the mirror printing has been specified, only the  mirror printing is not performed. Therefore, the 
bottom first mirror printing and top first mirror printi ng will be changed to bottom first printing and top first 
printing, respectively. 
•  Effective print width and X-coordinate fine adjustment 
When the number of digits of the feed amount reac hes the max. number of digits (74 mm), the feed 
amount is center-aligned. 
(3) Before shifting to the Information mode, make  sure that the printer has not received any commands 
related to feed or drawing. If the printer has re ceived such commands, printing will not be performed and 
the printer will return to the normal state. At  this time, a quick reset will not be performed. 
(4) Do not send a command to the printer while in the information mode. 
(5-1)  Counted feed amount is displayed on the LCD (in  units of cm). 
(5-2)  The unit of measure is switched between  centimeter and inch by pressing the [RESTART] 
key. 
(6-1)  Press the [FEED] key to return to the idle state  (1).  
(6-2)  Press the [PAUSE] key to print the feed amount.   
(7)  The printer is reset.   
(2)  Press the [PAUSE] key. 
 
(3)  The printer enters Pause state. 
(1) Idle 
[PAUSE] 
Power ON 
(4)  Hold down the [FEED] key for 3 seconds or more  while the printer is in pause state. 
[FEED] 
[PAUSE] 
(8)  The printer returns to the idle state (1).

(2)  When the [RESTART] key is pressed and released within 3 seconds in an error state or a 
pause state, the printer resumes printing.    (The reset menu is not displayed on the LCD.)     
When the [RESTART] key is pressed in a communication error state or a command error 
state, the printer returns to the same state as when the power is turned off and on again, 
whether or not the [RESTART] key is held down for 3 seconds or more.
