OPERATIONAL MODE SELECTION

There are two modes of printer operation; Dispense and Continuous. The difference between the two is the way that the label and paper backing is ejected. Before printer configuration, one must determine which mode will be used. This chapter identifies the funtional defferences between the two.

TEAR-OFF MODE

With this method of operation, after printing, the printer feeds the first (outermost) label so that it is fully extended out of the printer’s front for dispensing. Printing of the next label will not begin until the prior printed label has been removed. This mode of operation is specifically suited for emmediate application at the time of print.

Upon removal of the prior printed label, the printer repositions the media so that the next label in line may be printed, then prints. The before-mentioned cycle, repeats for each consecutive label.

Printer configuration for the backfeed function may be found in the Advanced Mode of the Configuration unit in this manual. Refer to the Table of Contents for the page number.

CONTINUOUS MODE

With this mode of operation, the media remains in position for printing at all times. To do so, means that the previous printed label is only available for removal when one to four addidtional labels have been printed (quantity is depended on label size). This mode of operation is specifically suited for printing bulk quantities to be applied later.

Printer configuration for the Continuous mode of operation may be found in the Advanced Mode of the Configuration unit in this manual. Refer to the Table of Contents for the page number.

ATTENTION: Refer to the Printer Configuration unit of this manual to program the printer’s internal memory to suit individual needs using the integrated menu options. Refer to the Programming Reference document to remotely program the printer’s features and functions through a host system.
