Backfeed works by advancing each printed label to the desired dispense position. Once that label is removed, the next label to be printed is backed up underneath the printhead. In continuous mode, only the last label in the batch is advanced to the dispense position. Extended backfeed is available on 9835, 9840, or 9850 printers with a knife installed. Extended backfeed feeds a tag far enough out to be cut and backfeeds the next tag to the printhead line.

Extended backfeed eliminates printed tags being left between the printhead and knife. Extended backfeed works with the selected cut modes. Refer to the optional Packet Reference Manual to learn how to define the Backfeed Control Packet. Extended backfeed does not work with non-indexed (continuous) supply/mode. Do not use backfeed (normal or extended) with supplies less than 0.75 inches.

We recommend using 0.5-inch gap supplies in

peel mode when backfeed is disabled.
