•Cut. When the optional media cutter is installed, it automatically cuts media after each label is printed or can cut after a specified number of labels have been printed using a software cut command. It cuts continuous roll paper, labels, or tag stock.

NOTE: This feature is currently not supported using the RFID encoder.

•Continuous. Printer prints on the media and sends it out the front.

The default is Tear-Off Strip.

Paper Feed Shift

Represents the distance to advance a label (+ shift) or pull back (– shift) when the Tear-Off Strip, Tear-Off, Peel-Off, or Cut Media Handling option is enabled. The allowable range is -0.50 inches to the current Label Length value setting up to a maximum of 12.80 inches in 0.01 inch increments.

The default is 0.00 inches.

Label Length

In most applications, the user-selected Label Length will match the physical label length. Physical label length is the actual label length of the media installed. Following is a list of different media types:

•Die-cut labels: measurable length of the removable label (leading edge to trailing edge). This does not include the liner material or gap.

•Tag stock with notches or holes: measurable length from the trailing edge of one notch or hole to the trailing edge of the next notch or hole.

•Tag stock with black marks on the underside: measurable length from the leading edge of one black mark to the leading edge of the next black mark.

•Continuous media (no label length indicators): measurable length should be within + 1-2% of the Label Length value entered.
