[. . . ] The PAUSE signal generated from the expansion I/O, is turned ON. * When the PAUSE signal generated from the expansion I/O is on, a label is not printed. - 172 - The expansion I/O is not installed: The strip sensor is ignored, an issue is performed. Strip position Head position (1) Idling (2) Feeds back to the home position. A (3) Completes printing the 1st label (A). (4) Feeds back to the home position. B (5) Completes printing the 2nd label (B). (6) Feeds back to the home position. C (7) Completes printing the 3rd label (C). * The next label is printed regardless of whether or not the label is removed. *1 *2 *3 Issue mode E is different from issue mode D. In issue mode E, a label is issued regardless of whether or not a label to be stripped is placed. The peripheral device such as an applicator, must control the PAUSE signal generated from the expansion I/O. If the issue count is set to 2 or more to issue labels when the expansion I/O has been installed, the printer issues the specified number of labels while the PAUSE signal generated from the expansion I/O is off. If the issue count is set to 2 or more to issue labels when the expansion I/O has not been installed, the specified number of labels is issued. *4 - 173 - (5) Issue speed Printing takes place at the designated speed. However, the back feed speed in cut mode and strip mode is 3 ips. This back feed speed can be changed from 3 ips to 2 ips in the system mode. For B-SX4T, the print speed "10 ips" is not supported for printing with the rotary cutter. If "10 ips" is specified when the rotary cutter has been installed, the print speed is corrected from 10 ips to 6 ips, regardless of the cut designation. The possible issue speed varies according to types and sizes of the paper supply. For details, refer to the Supply Specification. Model Parameter B-SX4T Rotary cutter Rotary cutter not installed installed 3 ips 3 ips B-SX5T 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A (6) With/without ribbon 3 ips 6 ips 6 ips 10 ips 5 ips 8 ips Without ribbon: Use direct thermal paper. With ribbon: Use thermal transfer ribbon. With ribbon saving: When there is a non-print area (in the feed direction) of 20 mm or more (30 mm or more at 10 ips for the B-SX4T) in the batch mode, cut mode or strip mode, ribbon saving is performed automatically. The minimum print area (in the feed direction) in ribbon saving issue is 8 mm. If the print area is less than 8 mm, printing is performed by automatically assuming the minimum print area of 8 mm. Ribbon saving is performed for up to 4 fields (Max: 4 printing fields + 4 ribbon saving fields). When the parameter in the Issue Command is set to "Without ribbon saving function", or the ribbon saving system is set in the system mode so that it is not used, no ribbon saving will take place. NOTES: 1. To use the ribbon saving function, it is necessary to select the parameter depending on the head lever position. This selection is performed by the parameter settings in the system mode.
