When print data is received without returning to the original position with <IK>1,120, printing will start
from the current stop position.

[Supplementary Explanation]
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• In cutter and dispenser mode, do not attempt to backfeed right after cutting and dispensing
label.
• When omitting [No. of label feed] in forward feed, printer motion will be similar to label feed
motion when pressing the FEED key in offline state.
• Label feed motion with this command will be activated at the time of online.
• Control of feed motion by external signal is not available.
• When omitting [No. of label feed] in backfeed, label feed will not be performed due to command
error.
• When the sensor is disabled in continuous mode, <IK>0 (omission of [No. of label feed]) will not
feed labels.
• When the specified feed value is outside of valid range, printing will not be performed due to
command error.
• 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.
• 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.
