Using The Optional Internal Rewinder; Batch Rewind Mode; Configuring The Printer Menu - Printronix t8000 Administrator's Manual

•
Tear-Off Strip. Prints on the media and sends it out the front until the print buffer is empty. It then
positions the last label over the tear bar for removal.
•
Tear-Off. After each label is printed, the printer positions the label over the tear bar and waits for you to
tear off the label before printing the next label (on-demand printing). A "Remove Label" message will
display to remind you to remove the label before the next one can be printed.
•
Peel-Off. When the optional internal rewinder is installed, the printer prints and peels die-cut labels
from the liner without user assistance. The label liner is wound on the rewinder. The printer waits for
you to take away the label before printing the next one (on-demand printing). A "Remove Label"
message will display to remind you to remove the label before the next one can be printed. For Label
Peel-off information, see Label Peel-Off page 30.
•
Cut. When the optional media cutter is installed, the printer automatically cuts media after each label is
printed or can cut the media after a specified number of labels have been printed using the Active IGP
Emulation cut command.
Once you have decided on the mode, configure the printer. See Chapter 3 page 52 for more information.

Using the Optional Internal Rewinder

The printer can be set up to rewind labels after they have been printed (Batch Rewind Mode) or to
automatically peel labels from their backing and dispense them one at a time while rewinding the liner
(Peel-Off Mode). Both modes require an internal rewinder, which is available as a factory installed or a field
unit option.

Batch Rewind Mode

Batch Rewind allows you to automatically rewind printed labels into a roll using the optional internal
rewinder.
