Print Mode Descriptions and Printer Requirements
Table 8 • Print Modes and Printer Options
Print Mode When to Use/Printer Options Required Printer Actions
Tear-Off
(default setting) Use for most applications. This mode can
be used with any printer options and most
media types. The printer prints label formats as it
receives them. The printer operator can tear
off the printed labels any time after they
print.
Peel-Off Use only if the printer has the Peel-Off,
Liner Take-Up, or Rewind option. The printer peels the label from the liner
during printing and then pauses until the
label is removed.
In Peel-Off mode, the liner exits the front of
the printer. In Peel-Off mode with Liner
Take-Up, the liner winds onto the liner
take-up spindle or the rewind spindle.
Cutter Use if the printer has a cutter option when
you want the labels to be cut apart. The printer prints a label and then cuts it
free.
Delayed Cut Use if the printer has a cutter option when
you want the printer to cut the labels apart
at a signal. The printer prints a label, pauses, and cuts
the label when it receives the ~JK (delayed
cut) ZPL command.
Rewind Use if the printer has the Rewind option and
you want the labels to rewind on a core. The printer prints without pausing between
labels. The media or liner is wound onto a
core after printing.
