Labels are printed and sent out the front. The cross
perforation following the last printed label is not aligned
at the tear bar. No auto feeding of a blank label should
exist between print jobs, but you may need to press the
FEED key to move approximately .80 inches of the last
printed label from under the printhead. If performed,
this feed causes a blank label at the beginning of the
next print job.
Same as Standard, but the cross perforation following
the last printed label is aligned at the tear bar. No blank
label is needed to remove the last printed label. No
blank label should exist between print jobs. A no print
zone, .80 inches long, exists from the leading edge of
each printed label. This option supports label lengths
2.50 inches or longer.
Same as Standard, but the cross perforation following
the last printed label is automatically aligned at the tear
bar once the print buffer is empty for a period of
Tear-Strip Time. (Media does not get aligned at tear
bar until Tear-Strip Time expires.) When printable data
is again detected, a blank label is automatically fed,
resulting in one blank label between each print job.
This option supports label lengths 2.50 inches or
longer. Shorter label lengths cause two or more blank
labels to be automatically fed at the beginning of each
print job.
When Media Handling is set to Continuous and a cutter
is installed, Cut Strip will use the respective host
interface Timeout menu setting to determine the End
Of Job (EOJ) and cycle the cutter. That is, the cutter
will be cycled when there is no more data being
received from the host. The cut will not be done for
printing that is not initiated by the host such as form
feeds and test printing or if the host interface is not set
to Auto Switching.
