label is held in this position by that portion of the backing that
has not crossed the Tear-Off/Peel-Off Bar.
The Label Available Sensor is located on the printer in a position
where it is activated by the label. When the operator removes the
label, the printer backfeeds the media either to the rest (idle)
position or to the printing position and prints the next label.
When it is necessary to remove the media backing from the
Take-Up Spindle, you do not need to turn the printer OFF.
Rewind Mode
Some applications call for the media to be rewound onto a core as
the labels are printed.
When the media is in the rest (idle) position, the start of the next
label is directly under the printhead. After the label is printed, the
media feeds forward until the start of the next label is under the
printhead. The media never backfeeds in this mode.
When the printer completes a batch of labels, printing will stop.
The PAUSE key stops and restarts the printing process.
If the printer is idle (not printing) when the PAUSE key is
pressed, no printing can occur. If the PAUSE key is pressed while
printing is in progress, the printing stops once the current label is
complete.
Pressing the PAUSE key a second time resumes the printing
process.
The FEED key forces the printer to feed one blank label. If the
printer is idle (not printing), or if the PAUSE function is active
when the FEED key is pressed, one blank label feeds from the
printer immediately. If the printer is printing, then one blank
label feeds out after completion of the current batch of labels.
After one blank label feeds out, pressing FEED again provides
another blank label.
