Make a note of the following items:

Be careful when tearing supplies, because the adhesive can adhere to the printhead or platen roller.

Backfeed affects each label in the on-demand mode or the first and last label of the batch in continuous mode.

When backfeed is enabled and multiple batches are sent, the printer may not backfeed between each batch.

Backfeed should only be used when you need to advance labels to the desired dispense point.

Backfeed does not interfere with the supply, print, or margin positions you have set.

If the supply inter-label gap is not between .07 inch to .15 inch (14 to 30 dots), you must adjust the dispense position and backfeed distance accordingly.

See the following graphic for a representation of the following adjustments: dispense position, backfeed distance, supply position, print position, and margin position.

Contact Technical Support if you have problems adjusting where the format prints on the supply.
