Use the backfeed control packet (G) to enable or disable the backfeed option, set the dispense position and the backfeed distance. 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. You may need to adjust the dispense position to allow labels to be removed, die cut labels to be removed easily, or to prevent them from falling off.

Extended backfeed is available on the 985x printers with a knife installed. The 9860 printer always uses extended backfeed operation whether it is selected or not. Extended backfeed feeds a tag far enough out to be cut and backfeeds the next tag to the printhead line. You can not change the backfeed distance while the printer is active.

Extended backfeed eliminates printed tags being left between the printhead and knife.

Extended backfeed does not work with non-indexed (continuous) supply/mode.

Do not use backfeed (normal or extended) with supplies less than

0.75inches. We recommend using 0.5-inch gap supplies in peel mode when backfeed is disabled. Not all printers support peel mode.

The 9403 printer does not support the backfeed packet. The dispense position and backfeed distance are optional parameters and do not have to be specified. However, they allow for greater precision when positioning the supply.
