Use the backfeed control packet (G) to enable or disable the
backfeed option, set the dispense position and the backfeed
distance. Backfeed works by advancing each printed label to the
desired dispense position. Once that label is removed, the next
label to be printed is backed up underneath the printhead. In
continuous mode, only the last label in the batch is advanced to
the dispense position. You may need to adjust the dispense
position to allow labels to be removed, die cut labels to be
removed easily, or to prevent them from falling off.

Extended backfeed is available on the 985x printers with a knife
installed. Extended backfeed feeds a tag far enough out to be cut
and backfeeds the next tag to the printhead line. You can not
change the backfeed distance while the printer is active.

Extended backfeed eliminates printed tags being left between the
printhead and knife. Extended backfeed does not work with
non-indexed (continuous) supply/mode. Do not use extended
backfeed when sensing on attacher-hole supplies.

The 9860 printer automatically backfeeds when necessary.
Backfeed is also cut-mode dependent. See "Defining the Batch
Control Field" in Chapter 6 for more information about the best
cut mode for your application.
