CAUTION!
To separate the printed
media from the media roll
in batch mode, be sure to
tear off the media at the
strip shaft or cut the media
past the strip shaft.
However, if you tear off
the media at the print
head by mistake, be sure
to feed one label (10 mm
or more) with the [FEED]
key prior to next issue.
Failure to do this may
cause a paper jam.
