Description
Tear Off
Can be used with any printer option and with most media types.
The printer prints label formats as it receives them. The printer operator can tear off the printed labels when the printer stops.
Cutter
Cutter option
The printer cuts between labels after each one is printed.
Delayed Cut
Cutter option setting
The printer waits for a delayed cut (
~JK
) ZPL command before it cuts the last printed label.
Peel Off
One of the two Rewind option settings
The printer peels the label from the backing during printing and then pauses until the label is removed. The empty backing is wound onto the rewind spindle without using the rewind plate.
Rewind
One of the two Rewind option settings
The printer prints without pausing between labels. The media is wound onto a core after printing. The rewind plate is used to keep the labels from separating from the backing.
Applicator
Requires an Applicator Port connection. This mode is for use with a machine that applies labels.
The printer prints when it receives a signal from the applicator. Authorized Service Technicians should refer to the Advanced User Information section of the Maintenance Manual for additional information about the applicator interface.
