Backfeed Sequence

Press the RIGHT or LEFT BLACK OVAL

 

 

 

 

key to display other choices.

 

 

 

 

Default: Default (90%)

 

 

 

 

 

Selections: Default, after, before, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%,

 

 

 

 

60%, 70%, 80%, off

 

 

 

 

This parameter establishes when and how much label backfeed

 

 

 

 

occurs after a label is removed or cut in the peel-off, cutter, and

 

 

 

 

applicator modes. It has no effect in rewind or tear-off modes.

 

 

 

BACKFEED

This parameter setting can be superseded by the ~JS instruction

 

 

 

when received as part of a label format (refer to the ZPL II

 

 

 

 

Programming Reference Volumes I and II).

 

 

 

 

NOTE: The difference between the value entered and 100%

 

 

 

 

establishes how much backfeed occurs before the next

 

 

 

 

label is printed. For example, a value of 40 means that

 

 

 

 

40% of the backfeed takes place after the label is

 

 

 

 

removed or cut. The remaining 60% takes place before

 

 

 

 

the next label is printed. A value of “before” means that

 

 

 

 

all backfeed will take place before the next label is

 

 

 

 

printed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Adjusting Label Top Position Press the RIGHT BLACK OVAL key

 

 

 

 

to increase the value, press the LEFT BLACK OVAL key to

 

 

 

 

decrease the value. The displayed value represents dots.

 

 

 

 

Default: +0

 

 

 

 

LABEL TOP

Range: -120 to +120 dot rows

 

 

 

 

The label top position adjusts the print position vertically on the

 

 

 

 

label. Positive numbers adjust the label top position further down

 

 

 

 

the label (away from the printhead), negative numbers adjust the

 

 

 

 

position up the label (toward the printhead).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Adjusting Left Position

Press the LEFT BLACK OVAL key to

 

 

 

 

move to the next position, press the RIGHT BLACK OVAL key to

 

 

 

 

change between + and - and to increase the value of the digit.

 

 

 

 

The displayed value represents dots.

 

 

 

 

Default: 0000

 

 

 

 

 

Range: -9999 to +9999

 

 

 

 

LEFT POSITION

NOTE: For a negative value, enter the value before changing to

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the minus sign.

 

 

 

 

 

This parameter establishes how far from the left edge of a label

 

 

 

 

the format will begin to print by adjusting horizontal positioning

 

 

 

 

on the label. Positive numbers adjust the printing to the left by

 

 

 

 

the number of dots selected, negative numbers shift printing to

 

 

 

 

the right.
