Basic Timing for Label Feeding
The timing specification when the setting for the end print signal (pin 18) is Mode 1 or 2 (= signal is asserted
when the printer feeds paper) will vary depending on the setting value for "backfeed operation time settings" in
the printer settings menu.
When "backfeed operation time settings" is set to "backfeed after printing"
When the Print Mode is Peel-Off for Auto Labeler, after a label is printed, it moves to the cutting/peeling posi-
tion, where it is held in that state for 300 ms (initial setting). Then, a backfeed operation is performed regardless
of whether the label has been peeled off.
A backfeed operation without peeling the label off will result in a paper jam. Therefore, build a system that can
reliably peel labels off between the time when the "end print signal" is detected and the time when a backfeed
operation is performed.
The holding time can be set between 0 and 2,550 ms, in increments of 10 ms. Refer to the printer's "Technical
Reference Guide" for the setting method.
The paper feed status is not included during backfeed (the pin 18 end print signal is not asserted during back-
feed).
When the end print signal is set to Mode 1 (= the printer feeds paper during Low)
