Setting the Tear Off Position
The Tear Off Position adjusts the position of the media over the peel bar after printing. The label
and backing can be torn off or cut between labels. This also affects the dispense position in Peel
Off, Applicator, and Cutter modes.

Press the NEXT key to display MEDIA TYPE.
Selecting the Media Type
The Media Type parameter specifies the kind of media being used. “Continuous” media requires that
a label length instruction (^LLxxxx) be included in your ZPL or ZPL II label format.
With “non-continuous,” the printer feeds media to calculate label length (the distance between two
detections of the inter-label webbing, or alignment notch, or hole). “Non-Continuous” is the
recommended mode for an applicator.
