Label Positioning Parameters
Backfeed Sequence
Determines when and how much label backfeed occurs in the Applicator mode. It has no effect in
Rewind or Tear-Off modes.
This parameter setting can be superseded by a ZPL/ZPL II instruction when received as part of a
label format. Refer to the “ZPL II Programming Guide.”
BACKFEED
¬DEFAULT ®
Press the right oval key for the next choice, or press the left oval key for the previous choice.
Default: 90% of the backfeed occurs after the label is dispensed; the remaining 10%
takes place before the next label is printed.
Selections: Default; After, Before, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, or 90%
NOTE: The difference between the value entered and 100% establishes how
much backfeed occurs before the next label is printed. For example, a value of
40 means that 40% of the backfeed takes place after the label is dispensed. The
remaining 60% takes place before the next label prints. A value of “Before”
means that all backfeed will take place before the next label is printed.
