2. Start and end of self diagnostic print Set the power on while pressing the FEED switch and release the FEED switch after the printer mechanism activates to start self-printing. The self diagnostic print automatically ends when a preset number of characters are finished printing. While printing, the printer is in Off-line mode. 4.1.4 No paper sensor No paper sensor is mounted on the paper path in the printer mechanism. It detects no paper status of the roll paper.
4.4 Automatic paper cut “Automatic paper cut” after paper is manually fed by pressing FEED button. If manual line feed is conducted for more than 10 lines, the paper is automatically cut off after the paper feed is finished. This function is not available when the line feed is conducted by control command. 4.5 Winder drive When no autocutter is mounted, autocutter drive motor functions as external rewinder drive.
