initial offset value of “0“causes the printed label to be peeled off from the
liner leaving approximately a .1“(2mm) wide strip of the label still
adhering to the liner. The amount of label left adhering to the liner can be
altered with this parameter. Positive offset values cause more of the label
surface to protrude past the dispense plate. The offset values from “Peel
position“ and from software are added together for execution. The
software value does not replace the “Peel position” value, but temporarily
adjusts it for the current job.
• Backfeed delay - The "Backfeed delay" adjustment allows you to input an
amount of time in milliseconds between when the label is removed from
the peel edge and when the backfeed is executed. Using "Backfeed delay"
should prevent labels from becoming jammed between the printhead and
print roller when the liner is fed back too quickly.
• Limit peel-off spd. - This parameter allows to limit the print speed in
peel-off mode to 4 ips (100mm/s). For Pronto! 482/486/682/863 such a
limitation is not necessary. So the setting “Off” should be chosen.
• Backfeed - In peel-off mode, the material will be stopped in a position
where the leading edge of the following label has already been forwarded
beyond the printhead. The printer then will backfeed the label material
from its peel position to the printhead. Therefore, the next label can be
printed completely. A backfeed will always be performed if the parameter
is set to "always". If the setting is "smart", the backfeed will only be
performed if the front label is in its peel position and the printer has not
yet received all of the data for printing the following label. Otherwise, the
print of the second label will be started, but only completed once the first
label has been removed.
Operation
The printer is ready for operation if all connections have been made and all
materials are loaded correctly.
After loading the media it is necessary to locate top of form by pressing the
FEED key. Remove the dispensed labels manually from the dispense plate.
Locating the top of form is not necessary when the printhead was not lifted
between print jobs. This also applies if the printer was powered off between
print jobs.
Note: For loading the media for operation in peel-off mode follow the
instructions in Chapter 6: Loading media.
Note: To operate the present sensor the peel-off mode must be activated in the
software! For direct programming use the P-command (see “QuickLabel
Pronto 482/486/682/863 Programmer's Guide”).
