In black mark sensing mode, a sensor detects the black marks that are printed on the back of the label liner for each label. The label length and top of label are determined by the location of the black mark.

When the media is in the rest (idle) position, the webbing between labels is over the tear-off/peel-off bar. To print a label, the printer first backfeeds the media until the start of the label is directly under the printhead and then prints the entire label.

After a label is printed, the media feeds forward until the end of the label is past the tear-off/peel-off bar. This label position is determined by commands sent to the printer from the host computer or by front panel adjustments.

When a quantity of labels is required, a format for printing a batch of labels can be sent to the printer. Once a label is printed, the media feeds forward to the start of the next label and printing continues. In this way, the printer prints the batch and stops when it reaches the quantity required.

When a quantity of individual labels is required, the format for printing a batch of labels can still be sent to the printer. The operator can use the PAUSE key to cycle the printing one label at a time. The operator can then tear off each label before printing the next one.
