When the mode change from RECEIPT, RECEIPT1 or ESC/POS to LABEL,

Explanation (1) There are 4 types of the print mode: “LABEL”, “RECEIPT,” “TPCL” and
“ESC/POS.”
(2) “Automatic status response in IrDA: IrCOMM or USB” is the function for the
specifications which do not allow the printer to spontaneously send the status
through IrDA; IrCOMM or USB. This function enables the printer to forcefully send
the status to the host, if the link between the printer and the host is established.
However, if the link between the printer and the host is not established upon the
status transmission, the printer cannot send the status. Therefore, the status is
discarded. (In the next connection to the host, the printer does not send the
status to the host.)
