Peel-Off Mode
When the media is in the rest (idle) position, the start of the label to be
printed is slightly in front of the printhead. To print a label, the printer
first backfeeds the media until the start of the label is directly under the
printhead and then prints the entire label.
In this mode, once the label is printed, the media passes over the Tear-
Off/Peel-Off Bar at an extremely sharp angle. The backing material is
peeled away from the label and winds around the Peel-Off Spin-
dle or the Media Rewind Spindle. The media feeds forward until
most of the label hangs loose from the backing. The 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 re-
move 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.
Cutter Mode
In this mode the cutter, under software control, automatically cuts indi-
vidual labels (or at the end of batches of labels) after printing. The op-
tional Cutter Catch Tray gathers the completed labels.
