Chapter 3 MEDIA CONTROL
“End of Image” printing is affected by the “Clip Page” option (under
MEDIA Control). See “Clip Page” on page 121 for more details.
Peel-Off Mode
When Peel-Off Media Handling mode (see page 109) is enabled, this feature
allows selection of two different media motions for automatic label peel-off.
• Fast (factory default). Reverse and forward media motion distance in
Peel-Off mode is reduced, providing faster throughput. Primarily used for
label lengths less than 2 inches long.
• Standard . Provides standard reverse and forward media motion distance
in Peel-Off mode to ensure sufficient rewinder tension.
Continuous Mode
Allows selection of special media modes when Continuous Media Handling
mode (see page 109) is selected.
• Standard (factory default). Labels are printed and sent out the front. The
cross perforation following the last printed label is not aligned at the tear
bar. No auto feeding of a blank label should exist between print jobs, but
you may need to press the FEED key to move approximately .80 inches
of the last printed label from under the printhead. If performed, this feed
causes a blank label at the beginning of the next print job.
• Tear-Off . Same as Standard, but the cross perforation following the last
printed label is aligned at the tear bar. No blank label is needed to remove
the last printed label. No blank label should exist between print jobs. A no
print zone, .80 inches long, exists from the leading edge of each printed
label. This option supports label lengths 2.50 inches or longer.
• Tear Strip Full . Same as Standard, but the cross perforation following
the last printed label is automatically aligned at the tear bar once the print
buffer is empty for a period of Tear-Strip Time. (Media does not get
aligned at tear bar until Tear-Strip Time expires.) When printable data is
again detected, a blank label is automatically fed, resulting in one blank
label between each print job. This option supports label lengths 2.50
inches or longer. Shorter label lengths cause two or more blank labels to
be automatically fed at the beginning of each print job.
• Cut Strip . When Media Handling is set to Continuous and a cutter is
installed, Cut Strip will use the respective host interface Timeout menu
setting to determine the End Of Job (EOJ) and cycle the cutter. That is,
the cutter will be cycled when there is no more data being received from
the host. The cut will not be done for printing that is not initiated by the
host such as form feeds and test printing or if the host interface is not set
to Auto Switching.
