[Supplementary Explanation]
1. Delimit Start of Data Transmission <A> and End of Data Transmission <Z> with this command.
When specifying this command with the same item as print data, the command will be ignored.
2. When setting [Label feed direction] to [1: Backfeed], length of label feed needs to be checked. If this length is very
long, it may cause overlapped prints or label may fall off the platen and result in detection error as paper-end.
3. When setting [Thermal transfer] to [Print method], length of label backfeed needs to be under 30mm. Failure to do
so may result in detection error as ribbon end. And also, avoid consecutive specification of label feed command for
backfeed.
4. In cutter and dispenser mode, do not attempt to backfeed right after cutting and dispensing label.
5. When omitting [No. of label feed] in forward feed, printer motion will be similar to label feed motion when pressing
the FEED button in offline state.
6. Label feed motion with this command will be activated at the time of online.
7. Control of feed motion by external signal is not available.
8. When omitting [No. of label feed] in backfeed, label feed will not be performed due to command error.
9. When the sensor is disabled in continuous mode, <IK>0 (omission of [No. of label feed]) will not feed labels.
10. When the print start position is outside of printable area, printing will not be performed due to command error.
11. The valid feeding range in the backward direction is from 6 mm to 60 mm. The command error occurs when the
feeding length is out of range and the media is not fed.
12. Actual feed distance may be different from the set value according to the individual difference of each printer,
supplies and operating environment. Recommend to adjust the feed value before operation.
