Peel-Off Media Handling Mode

If your printer is configured for Peel-Off Media Handling mode (use of optional internal

rewinder), you may need to align the beam further behind the notches (0.14 to 0.20

inches [3.56 mm to 5.07 mm] from the front edge of the tear bar) so that the peeled label

remains on the tear bar and the trailing edge of the last bar code can still pass

completely under the scanning beam. See Figure 19.

Aligning the scanning beam to any position other than the notches on the tear bar

should only be done if the last printed bar code image does not clear the beam when the

label is at the peel-off position after printing. In addition, the distance the beam moves

back from the tear bar edge must correspond to a distance from the leading edge of the

label that does not have bar code printing. For example, aligning the beam 0.16 inches

from the front edge of the tear bar requires that 0.16 inches of the leading edge of the

label must not have bar code images.
