Under Setup > Print parameters the method for recognizing the start of label and the
method of backfeed when using cut mode can be selected.
Label Sensor
For recognizing the start of label the printer offers besides the two standard methods
(Gap sensor / Bottom reflect) the setting Endless media. This setting should be used
when operating with continuous material in cut mode. That way it is possible to realize
the movement forward and the cut after loading the media and then pressing the feed
key.
Backfeed
In cut mode, the media will be stopped in a position where the leading edge of the
following label has already been moved beyond the printhead. The printer can
backfeed the label material from its cut 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 set to "smart", the backfeed will only be performed if the front label is in its cut
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 it will only be
completed after the first label has been cut.
Media Loading
Load the transfer ribbon.
Load the label media for cut mode similar to the way it would be loaded for tear-off
mode.
Place the media strip between the printhead and the drive roller, so that the beginning
of the strip reaches into the cutter.
Operation
Standard Operation
The printer is ready for operation when 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.
The media will be moved forward and then cut.
Note: To operate the cutter with continuous material in the printer menu Setup > Print
parameters > Label sensor the setting Endless media has to be selected. Otherwise no cut is
carried out.
Locating the top of form is not necessary when the printhead was not opened between
print jobs, even if the printer was powered off between print jobs.
Note: To operate the cutter the cut mode must be activated in the software! For direct
programming use the C-command.
