13. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)

Q:I use the model with the Peel-off Unit. A label is completely separated from the backing paper and drops from the media outlet.

Am I using the Peel-off Unit in the wrong way?

A:

Ensure that the “Peel” checkbox is checked in the “Options” dialog box in the printer driver. If printing is performed without checking the “Peel-off” checkbox, peeling will fail.

Please refer to Help for the Printer Driver for further information.

Q: A ribbon is torn apart during printing. What should I do?

A:

If printing is performed outside the guaranteed print area, a ribbon may be torn apart. Change a page layout to place entire printed image within the guaranteed print area, or decrease the print tone to prevent the ribbon from being torn apart.

Refer to section 3.5 Guaranteed Print Area for further information. In addition, refer to Help for the Printer Driver for further information regarding the changing of the print tone.

Please note that the warranty is not applied to any problems caused by printing outside the guaranteed print area.

Q:When the Peel-off unit is used, can I use the outlet of the Peel-off unit to tear off backing paper?

A:

Do not use the outlet or the Strip Plate of the Peel-off unit to tear off the backing paper or labels, as this may deform the Strip plate, and consequently cause the peeling failure.

Use scissors to cut the media at the point at least 150 mm away from the outlet of the Peel-off Unit.
