    Advanced Use Filter Print commands use photoelectric sensors or external signals. If chattering occurs in these signals, trouble such as failure to print, print position error, or skipping numbering, etc., may occur. This occurs due to the chattering timing and a characteristic that ignores print commands entered during CCS-R print operations (print position standby and printing after the print command has been entered).
