Peel-Off (Self-strip)

The EasyCoder PD4 can print on labels, tickets, tags, and continuous stock in various forms. This section describes the case when self-adhesive labels are separated from the liner immediately after printing. The liner is then wound up on an optional integral liner takeup hub (see Chapter 6 “Options”). This is also known as “Self-strip” operation.

Peel-off can only be used for:

• Self-adhesive labels with liner

The label taken sensor can hold the printing of the next copy in the batch until the present copy has been removed, see Chapter 2, “Installation; Print Mechanism.” The label taken sensor is enabled/disabled using the ESim O command, see the ESim v5.xx for EasyCoder PD4, Programmer’s Reference Manual. The point of detection is approximately 15 mm (0.6 in) outside the inner edge of the media path.

Note: When using the printer for the first time or when chang- ing to another media with different characteristics in regard of label length, gap length, and liner transparency, you should calibrate the label gap sensor and adjust the media feed in the Autosensing Mode, see Chapter 9, “Adjustments”, after you have loaded the media. When loading a new roll of media from the same stock as before, it is usually sufficient to press the Feed key and feed out a label.

Note: When the liner rewinds to about 110 mm in diameter, the liner roll will touch the max. liner rewind sensor and the printer will stop printing until the liner has been removed from the printer.
