Using Batch Separators
A batch separator is an extra tag printed in
between batches with a pinstripe pattern. For
continuous supply, the batch separator is always
six inches long. The batch’s name prints on the
batch separator.
Note: Changing this setting only affects new
formats sent to the printer. Any formats
previously saved into flash memory are
not affected.
Select To
No Disable batch separators.
Do not use batch separators with continuous (non-indexed) supply.
Yes Enable batch separators.
Long Enable double-length (two tags) batch separators.
Using Skip Index
Skip index mode skips (or ignores) a sense mark and prints an image over multiple
labels, if necessary. For example, if you have 4.0" long supplies loaded, but the image is
8.0" long, enable skip index mode to print the 8.0" long image on two labels. Use the skip
index feature when you have a single format that contains two labels, such as a shelf
label and a carton label.
The image length is determined by the format header. Refer to the Packet Reference
Manual for more information.
Note: When designing the format, make sure text or graphics do not print in the gap of
label rolls. Do not use skip index with RFID supplies.
Select To
No Disable skip index.
Yes Enable skip index and print a format on two (multiple) labels.
