6.5 Tear-Off Function

The tear-off function eliminates the waste of labels when tearing manually. It allows the paper to automatically advance to the tear position after printing.

When this function is turned on, the printer checks for print request for 0.5 second after printing and if no print request is made, the printer feeds paper to the manual tear position. The printer will feed back paper to the print start position when the next print job is sent.

If data is transmitted continuously from the computer, the tear-off function will be suppressed to increase throughput.

6.5.1Turning Tear ON/OFF

Tear can be turned to ON or OFF from the control panel. Default is OFF.

Indications on the control panel are as follows:

 

LCD

 

 

 

Tear-off invalid

 

Tear-off valid

 

 

 

"Tear OFF"

 

"Tear ON"

 

 

 

6.5.2Tear-off when printing

The tear-off will start if no print data is transmitted for 0.5 second after printing. If the next data is transmitted before starting tear-off, the printer will start next printing without tear-off.

Also, the tear-off is only performed for the final label of each batch processing.

(The tear-off is not performed until the specified number of print sheets is completed.)
