Media Handling Modes
Media Handling Modes
Before you load media, you must decide which media handling mode to use:
•
Tear-Off Strip
(factory default). Printer prints on the media and sends it
out the front until the print buffer is empty, then positions the last label
over the tear bar for removal.
•
Continuous
. Prints on the media and sends it out the front of the printer.
•
Peel-Off
. Prints and peels die-cut labels from the liner without assistance.
The printer waits for you to take away the label before printing the next
one (on-demand printing). Supported only when Standard Peel or
Peel-Liner Rewinder option is installed. When either option is installed
with liner attached, a “Remove Label” message will display to remind you
to remove the label before the next one can be printed.
NOTE:
This mode is only supported when the Standard Peel without Liner
Rewinder option or Standard Peel with Liner Rewinder option is
installed.
NOTE:
If the Peel-Off option is not installed, the error message “OPTION
NOT INSTALLED” displays. Requires the Standard Peel with or
without Liner Rewinder options to be installed.
•
Cut
. When the optional media cutter is installed, it automatically cuts
media after each label is printed or after a specified number of labels
have been printed when a software cut command has been issued. It cuts
continuous roll paper, labels, or tag stock.
NOTE:
The Cut option is not allowed if the cutter is not installed. The error
message “OPTION NOT INSTALLED” displays.
•
Rewind
. In rewind mode the printer unwinds the media from the media
supply roll or fanfold label stack, prints the labels, and rewinds the printed
media and its carrier web onto the optional rewind spindle. For the
optional Rewinder, use “Rewind” for Batch Rewind mode (see “Using the
Full Media Rewinder Option” on page 243).
NOTE:
“OPTION NOT INSTALLED” displays if the Full Media Rewinder
option is not installed.
Once you have decided on the mode, configure the printer. See Chapter 4 for
more information.
