Printer prints on the media and sends it out the front
until the print buffer is empty, then positions the last
label over the tear bar for removal.
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 one (on-demand
printing). A "Remove Label" message will display to
remind you to remove the label before the next one can
be printed.
Not allowed if the cutter is installed. The error message
"INCOMPATIBLE WITH CUTTER" displays.
Prints and peels die-cut labels from the liner without
assistance. The printer waits for you to take away the
label before printing the next one (on-demand
printing). When the optional internal rewinder is
installed with liner attached, a "Remove Label"
message will display to remind you to remove the label
before the next one can be printed. See Label Peel-Off
page 29 and Media > Handling > Peel Present table
page 68 for more information.
Not allowed if the cutter is installed. The error message
"INCOMPATIBLE WITH CUTTER" displays.
When the optional media cutter is installed, it
automatically cuts media after each label is printed or
after a specified number of labels have been printed
when a cut command from the host has been issued. It
cuts continuous roll paper, labels, or tag stock.
Only allowed when the cutter is installed. The error
message "OPTION NOT INSTALLED" displays
otherwise.
