Loading the Media
You can operate this printer in one of two different modes: Tear-Off
or Peel-Off. Tear-Off mode allows you to tear off each label (or a strip
of labels) after it is printed. In Peel-Off mode, the backing material is
peeled away from the label as it is printed. After you remove this la-
bel, the next one is printed.
Tear-Off Mode
NOTE. If ribbon is loaded (PT models only), remove the
ribbon cartridge before loading the media.
