Recovery Mode Jumper on page 114.
• The printer will automatically Power ON when plugged into an active (ON) AC power source.
• Supports Sleep Mode and Power OFF with Sleep mode Delayed.

Pause Button– Pauses print and media movement actions.

printing a label that is printing before it pauses.
• The Pause indicator displays Amber (orange/yellow) to indicate the pause state.
• Pressing Pause while in the pause state to return the printer to normal operation. If printing a multi-label
(form/format) job or another print job is waiting to print in the print queue, then the printer will resume
printing.
Feed (Advance) Button– Advance a label (print form/format).
• Feed One Label – Press and release Feed when the printer is not printing to advance media one (1)

• Reprint Last Label (activated via an SGD command: ezpl.reprint_mode) – The intended purpose
of this feature is to allow reprint of a failed media print. If the printer runs out of media (paper, labels,
transfer ribbon, etc.), then the printer can re-print the last label (print form/format). The print buffer that
stores the print image available for reprint is cleared when the printer gets turned off or is reset.
