5 Printing Operation
5.5 Suppressing Backfeed (SQUIX 4MT only)
i
Notice!
Feeding back the material to the printhead in the cut mode or between print jobs is not allowed for
SQUIX 4MT.
To avoid the backfeed :
 In the printer driver menu General > Print Settings > Advanced Setup > Options
• activate the setting "Ignore label position" and
• deactivate the setting "Single buffer mode".
or
 For direct programming  Programming Manual
• use the command O F and
• do not use the command O S.
5.6 Avoiding Loss of Material (SQUIX 4MT only)
!
Attention!
Loss of material!
At SQUIX 4MT a media backfeed from the cutting edge to the printhead is not allowed due to the reliability
of the media transport.
Therefore every interruption of the continuos print process has the following consequences :
• The print of the current label/section will be completed. The printed label will be fed through the cutter
and will be cut. The media between printhead and cutter will remain blank.
• Upon resumption of printing the media between printhead and cutter will not be fed back. The print will
be started at the media position currently laying under the printhead.
• Following blank sections are generated, which cannot be used.
• For operation with cutter the length of the blank section is at least 50 mm for continuos material.
For structured media where the print image has to be synchronized to the media transport the loss of
material can reach a length of more than 300 mm.
To minimize the loss of material it is necessary to avoid interruptions of the continuos print process.
 Interrupt the print process with the pause key only if it is absolute necessary.
 Avoid print jobs with a small amount of labels/sections, especially single prints.
Optimization of the Data Transfer
If sequent labels/sections contain differing information, the internal preparation of the second sections must be
completedbeforetheprintingoftherstsectionhasbeennished!
Otherwisetherstsectionwillbefedtothecutterwithoutprintingthenextsection.Theprintofthesecondsection
beginsonlyaftercuttingofftherstsection.
Therefore it is necessary to minimize the data to be transferred. i.e. to avoid transferring complete label descriptions
and to transfer the changing data only :
 Activate In the printer driver menu General > Print Settings > Advanced Setup > Options the setting "Force
optimization for all software" .
or
 For direct programming use the replace command R for changing data  Programming Manual.
