Loading Media for Self-Strip Printing

Use self-strip printing in applications where you want to apply labels to a
surface immediately. After printing a label, the printer prints out the label with
the backing removed. The rewinder hub collects the backing after it passes over
the self-strip assist roller. The rewinder hub can hold the backing from an entire
roll of media.
Note: For the 3400C printer, self-strip printing is an option that you order with your
printer. Self-strip printing is standard on the 3400B.
Note: You should find a small label with a three-digit sensitivity number printed on it
attached to your roll of media or a 15-digit number stamped on the side of the media
roll. Save this information. You will need it to set the correct media sensitivity number.
See "Setting the Media Sensitivity Number" later in this chapter for help.
