1.5.2 Precautions when using the Peel-off Unit
The following precautions must be taken when the Peel-off Unit is used.
Reduce a print speed to 101.6 mm/second (4 ips) or less.
Do not use perforated media, as this may cause a media feed error.
Some die-cut labels may not be peeled properly depending on the die-cut condition.
Please remove a label after peeling and media feed are stopped completely.
When the printer is not used in Strip mode, draw the media and backing paper together
over the Media Holding Roller until the leading edge of the media comes out of the
media outlet. The media should be sufficiently pulled out so that it is kept held by the
Media Holding Roller even after the media is fed backward after a tear-off. Otherwise,
a media feed error may occur.
The Peel-off Sensor may malfunction if it is subject to direct lighting of a three-band
fluorescent lamp. If this happens, decrease the illumination intensity of the fluorescent
lamp or relocate the printer.
Do not use the edge of the Peel-off Plate to tear off the media, as this may cause injuries
or a printer failure.
When the printer is used in Strip mode, enable “Peel” in the printer driver. For details,
please refer to the Help for the Printer Driver.
Supplemental Remarks
The Rubber Roller in the Peel-off Unit is a consumable. It wears out from an extended
period of use, which causes an improper peel-off operation. As a guide, it should be
replaced when the printer running distance reaches 20 km. When replacing the Rubber
Roller, please contact your nearest authorised TOSHIBA TEC representative for assistance.
