Printer Operating Modes
The XiII printer can be configured for one of several different operating
modes by sending the proper commands from the host computer or by con-
figuring the printer for a certain mode using the front panel display.
Tear-Off Mode
When the media is in the rest (idle) position, the gap between labels is over
the Tear-Off/Peel-Off Plate. The operator then tears off the label, and a new
label may be printed.
This mode of operation may also be used to print a large quantity of labels.
To do this, send a format for printing a batch of labels to the printer. The
printing will continue until all labels have been printed.
Peel-Off Mode
(Peel-Off Option Required)
In this mode, once the label is printed the media passes over the Tear-Off/
Peel-Off Plate at a sharp angle. The backing material is peeled away from
the label and winds around the Backing Rewind Spindle. The media feeds
forward until most of the label hangs loose from the backing. The Label
Available Sensor detects this label and pauses printing until the operator
removes the label, at which time the next label prints.
The Backing Rewind Spindle will hold the backing from a standard-size
media roll. To remove the backing from the Rewind Spindle, refer to
page 14.
Rewind Mode
(Rewind Option Required)
In this mode, the media and backing are rewound onto a core as the labels
are printed.
