- 78 - (22)  Label end/ribbon error process (LBL/RBN END) 
 
  •  TYP1:  When a label end or ribbon error state is detected, the printer 
stops even if it is printing. 
  •  TYP2:  When a label end or ribbon error state is detected, the printer 
prints the current label as far as possible, then stops. 
 
  •  TYP1:  When a label end or a ribbon error is detected in the middle of printing, the printing 
immediately stops.  When the printer is restarted, it feeds a paper first, then 
resumes the printing from the label at which the error occurred. 
 
 • TYP2: [Label end] 
When a label end is detected in the middle of printing, the printer completes 
printing the current label, then stops operation when the next label is fed to the 
home position, displaying an error message, “NO PAPER        X”.    (“X” indicates 
the number of remaining labels to be printed.)   
[Number of remaining labels to be printed] = [Total number of labels to be printed] 
− [Number of printed labels including the label at which the error occurred]   
When a label end is detected while the printer is printing a last label to be printed, 
“X” in the error message will be blank. 
When the printer is restarted, the printer feeds a paper first, then resumes printing 
from the label after the one at which the error occurred.    When the printer has 
already completed printing the last label to be printed, it only feeds a paper, then 
sends an End of Feed status and an End of Issue status, if the status response 
parameter is set to ON.   
 
[Ribbon error] 
•  When a ribbon error is detected where the remaining label length is 30 mm or 
more, the printer continues to print for 20 mm and stops, displaying an error 
message “RIBBON ERROR   X”.  (“X” indicates the number of remaining labels 
to be printed.) 
[Number of remaining labels to be printed] = [Total number of labels to be printed] 
− [Number of printed labels] -1   
When a ribbon error is detected while the printer is printing a last label to be 
printed, “X” in the error message will be blank. 
When the printer is restarted, the printer feeds a paper first, then resumes 
printing from the label after the one at which the error occurred.    When the 
printer has already completed printing the last label to be printed, it only feeds a 
paper.

- 79 - •  When a ribbon error is detected where the remaining label length is less than 30 
mm, the printer completes printing the current label, then stops operation when 
the next label is fed to the home position, displaying an error message, “RIBBON 
ERROR   X”.  (“X” indicates the number of remaining labels to be printed.)

Examples of LBL/RBN END TYP2 
[Case 1]  Number of total labels to be printed = 5 
A label end is detected while the 3rd label is printed. 
 (1st)(2nd)(3rd) 
 ↑ 
  After issuing the 3rd label completely, the printer stops, displaying 
“NO PAPER    2”.  
  When the printer is restarted, the printer feeds a paper, then prints on the 
4th and 5th labels.    All 5 labels are printed.   
 
[Case 2]  Number of total labels to be printed = 5 
A ribbon error is detected while the 3rd label is printed.     
The remaining label length is 30 mm or more.   
 (1st)(2nd)(3rd) 
  ↑ 
    After the 3rd label is printed for 20 mm, the printer stops printing, 
displaying “RIBBON ERROR   2”. 
  When the printer is restarted, the printer fees a paper, then prints on the 4th 
and 5th labels.      The 1st, 2nd, 4th, and 5th labels are printed.   
 
[Case 3]  Number of total labels to be printed = 5 
A ribbon error is detected while the 3rd label is printed.     
The remaining label length is less than 30 mm. 
 (1st)(2nd)(3rd) 
  ↑ 
  After issuing the 3rd label completely, the printer stops, displaying 
“RIBBON ERROR    2”. 
  When the printer is restarted, the printer feeds a paper, then prints on the 
4th and 5th labels.    All 5 labels are printed.

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.   
Assuming the label gap is 2 mm, the initial pre-strip distance 
is designed to be 6 mm for the reason that the optimal label
length that is fed past the strip shaft by the pre-strip process 
(= label length to be pre-stripped) is 1.0 mm to 2.0 mm. 
But 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. 
In order to find a proper fine adjustment value, a test print is 
available after a feed amount fine adjustment for the pre-strip 
function.    If the label leading edge aligns with the end of the
strip shaft, it means actual pre-strip forward/reverse feed 
amount is proper.

returns to the System mode menu display. 
  •  If the [RESTART] or [FEED] key is held down for 0.5 seconds or more when a parameter 
is being set, the printer enters repeat mode, in which the key is entered repeatedly.

  •  OFF:  Disabled (Normal operation) 
  •  ON:  Enabled (Multiple labels are issued as a set.) 
 
 
 
Supplementary explanations 
  •  When “No sensor” is selected, this function is invalid.     
  • When the automatic calibration is enabled, the actual label pitch is automatically 
measured, which disables this function.   Therefore, the automatic calibration needs to 
be set to OFF.   
  •  Up to 8 labels per set can be specified.     
  •  Pressing the [FEED] key causes the printer to feed one label. 
 
Example)  When the actual label pitch of one label is 30 mm and gap is 2 mm, 3 labels are 
issued as a set by the following command:   
 
{D0900, 1000, 0880 |}

  • With the system mode password parameter set to ON, a password entry window 
appears when either of the following occurs: a) “system mode for service persons and 
system administrators” is invoked, b) “system mode for users” is invoked, or c) the 
[PAUSE] and [RESTART] keys are held down for 3 seconds to invoke the system mode.     
When the password, which is the same as that registered here, is entered in the 
password entry window, the printer starts in system mode.     
As same as when the password is registered, a 4-digit hexadecimal value is entered one 
by one in the password entry window.     
  •  If a password entry fails three consecutive times when “system mode for service persons 
and system administrators” or “system mode for users” is invoked with the system mode 
password parameter set to ON, the printer starts in online mode. 
  •  If a password entry fails three consecutive times when the [PAUSE] and [RESTART] 
keys are held down for 3 seconds to invoke the system mode, the message “Please 
Power OFF” appears on the LCD and the printer locks up. 
  •  If the system password is forgotten, disable the system mode password operation using 
the @010 command. (Hidden command)
