8.8.2 Fanfold Label End
The printer behavior paper end is detected is as follows:
• After printing and feeding label (2) 50mm (2"), "Paper end error" will occur.
• If an error occurs while printing, label (2) will be printed again after releasing the error. If the print job is
completed at the time of error occurrence, label (2) will not be printed again. (Also, when the print job is
completed while feeding the label 50mm (2"), the label will not be reprinted.)
• In cutter mode, cutting motion will not occur when the printer has a "Paper end error."
Note:
Paper end error is detected using the I-Mark sensor. Therefore, using a tag with dark colored liner
(dark colored tag) may result in paper end error. Before using this type of tag, check whether the tag is
suitable for printing.

8.9 RIBBON END

Printer behavior when ribbon near end is detected:
• Ribbon near end can be detected by setting printing method to thermal transfer.
• When the ribbon remaining becomes 5 to 10m (0.2" to 0.4"), "Ribbon near end" will be detected.
The status of ribbon near end will be returned if status request (ENQ) is made.
Printer behavior when ribbon end is detected:
