Chapter3 Handling Processing Paper to Avoid Unprinted Labels In the case of die-cut label paper or continuous paper (with black marks), the printer may feed the paper without printing on the first label, or may run out of paper despite the existence of unprinted labels. To avoid producing such unprinted labels, this section describes how to process the paper and make settings. Printing from the 1st Label In order to detect the beginning of a page, the printer feeds paper by a certain amount after the paper is loaded. As a result, the printer may not be able to print on the first label. This section explains how to load and process the paper for printing from the first label.
Loading Paper When loading paper, check that the leading edge of the paper is in between the auto-cut position and the edge of the paper ejection table, and then close the roll paper cover.
