If less than 16 bytes remain, they can be printed by pressing the PAUSE button.

automatically enters pause mode. Load new paper properly, and then press the
PAUSE button to turn off pause mode so the printer is ready to print.

0.1 second intervals, and enters pause mode. Close the printer cover and press the
PAUSE button to turn off pause mode so the printer is ready to print.

Paper Width Detection

The printer detects the right paper edge and determines the right end ofthe
printable area. This disables printing in areas where there is no paper.

Automatic Paper Thickness Adjustment

The printer measures the paper thickness each time paper is loaded. The distance
between the printhead and the platen is automatically adjusted to match the
paper's thickness and obtain the best print quality.
