NOTES: 
1.  If the printer is not used for a few  days, the top edge of the media 
may become curly, which may 
cause a paper jam.  The Auto 
Forward Wait Function prevents 
this problem since the media feed 
amount is increased so that the 
media stops past the platen. 
2.  When the Stop Position Fine  Adjustment Value is set in + 
direction, the media will stop past 
the media outlet. 
When the value is set in – 
direction, the media will stop 
inside the media outlet. 
3.  This setting will be useful to fine  adjust the cut position of labels.
