Tear-Off
Position
If necessary, adjust the position of the media extending out of the printer after printing.
•Higher numbers move the media out (the tear line moves closer to the leading edge of
the next label).
•Lower numbers move the media in (the tear line moves closer to the edge of the label
just printed).
•Note - Tear-Off does not affect RFID program position.
Accepted values: –120 to 120

Tear Off
Print Width Specify the width of the labels being used. The default value is the maximum width for the
printer, based on the printhead’s DPI value.
Note • Setting the width too narrow can result in portions of a label format not being
printed on the media. Setting the width too wide wastes formatting memory and can
cause the printer to print off of the label and onto the platen roller. This setting can
affect the horizontal position of the label format if the image was inverted using the
^POI ZPL II command.
Accepted values: 0000 to 0832 dots (200 dpi printers)
0000 to 1280 dots (300 dpi printers)
