Brady 200M Printer User Manual


 
Black-Mark Sensing Mode
In Black-Mark Sensing Mode, you use continuous media (no
notch or gap) having black marks printed on the back of the label
liner for each label. To determine the label length and top of
label, the printer’s Black Mark Sensor detects the black mark
similar to the way in which the Transmissive Sensor detects the
notch or gap in the media.
Tear-Off Mode
When the media is in the rest (idle) position, the webbing
between labels is over the Tear-Off/Peel-Off Bar. To print a label,
the printer first backfeeds the media until the start of the label is
directly under the printhead and then prints the entire label.
After a label is printed, the media feeds forward until the end of
the label is past the Tear-Off/Peel-Off Bar. This label position is
determined by commands sent to the printer from the host
computer.
When a quantity of labels is required, a format for printing a
batch of labels can be sent to the printer. Once a label is printed,
the media will feed forward to the start of the next label and
printing will continue. In this way, the printer will print the batch
and stop when it reaches the quantity required.
When a quantity of individual labels is required, the format for
printing a batch of labels can still be sent to the printer. The
operator can use the PAUSE Key to cycle the printing one label at
a time. The operator can then tear off each label before printing
the next one.
Peel-Off Mode
When the media is in the rest (idle) position, the start of the label
to be printed is slightly in front of the printhead. To print a label,
the printer first backfeeds the media until the start of the label is
directly under the printhead and then prints the entire label.
In this mode, once the label is printed, the media passes over the
Tear-Off/Peel-Off Bar at an extremely sharp angle. The backing
material is peeled away from the label and winds around the
Peel-Off Spindle or the Media Rewind Spindle. The media feeds
forward until most of the label hangs loose from the backing. The
