Q: Are there any limitations on a print or feed speed in Strip mode?
A:
When the model with the Peel-off Unit is used, a print speed needs to be reduced to 4 ips or less to
ensure the steady peel-off operation. (In the printer driver, a feed speed is set to the same value as a
print speed.)
A print speed needs to be further reduced to 2 or 3 ips depending on the type or size of the media.
Check the peel-off operation first, then adjust a print speed if necessary.
Q: Is there any difference in acceptable media and ribbons between the standard model and the
model with the Peel-off Unit?
A:
There is no difference between the standard model and the model with the Peel-off Unit in the material
of the acceptable media and ribbons. However, when performing peel-off operation, the size of the
available media is different.

In addition to the above specifications, be careful of the following points when using the model with the
Peel-off Unit.
The acceptable media length for the Peel-off Unit is the same as that of the standard model.
However, when using a long label, prevent a peeled one from sticking to the table on which the
printer is placed.
Do not use a media roll with seams. Use a label stock with seamless backing paper.
Neither fabrics nor special labels are usable. Also, using non-rectangular labels is not allowed.
