Zebra Technologies Printers - Manual (Page 19)

• Holding the FEED button down will cause
the printer to continuously Form Feed until
the button is released. The printer will feed
the media until the next top of form is
reached.
• Holding the FEED button without media
loaded will cause the printer to continuously
(line) feed until the button is released or me-
dia is detected. This is useful when reloading
media in the printer and is also known as
“Power Media Loading”.
• Holding the FEED button down while pow-
ering up the printer with media loaded will
cause the printer to enter the AutoSense
mode. See AutoSense on page 33 for impor-
tant details.
Always run the AutoSense procedure when
loading new batch or type of media. Media from
the same manufacturing lot and having
identical dimensions do not need to have the
AutoSense procedure run every time new
media is loaded.
The Form Feed length is set by printer
programming (Q) command in EPL2
programming language or the AutoSense
feature, an automatic label and gap length
sensing operation. See AutoSense, page 33.
Continuous media with no label gaps,
containing black marks or notch holes, require
programming to set the form length and feed
distance.
