Introduction to the Self-Strip/Batch Takeup Option
The self-strip/batch takeup option enables the 4420 or 4440 printer to operate in
Self-Strip or Batch mode. When you use the printer in Self-Strip mode, the
printer strips each label off of the backing as it leaves the printer. When you use
the printer in Batch mode, the printer can collect an entire roll of media on the
media takeup hub.
This manual explains how to:
Loading Media for Self-Strip
Self-strip allows you to apply labels as soon as they are printed by having the
printer peel the media backing away from individual labels one at a time. The
label taken sensor signals the printer that a label has been removed so that it
will print the next label.
For optimal performance, load your printer with Intermec self-strip media.
Fanfold media is not recommended because the backing might tear along the
perforation.
Note: After the printer prints the last label and passes the end of the media roll through
the printhead, the takeup hub will turn for a few revolutions before stopping.
To load media for self-strip
1. Turn off the printer.
2. Load media into the printer, leaving the media cover off. For help, see your
3. Turn the head lift lever clockwise to raise the printhead.
