Loading Media
The PF8 prints on direct thermal media. The PF8t can also print on
thermal transfer media, such as self-adhesive labels, non-adhesive
tags, or continuous stock. To print on thermal transfer media, you
also need thermal transfer ribbon.
The method you use to load media depends on how you want the
printer to operate. The PF8 can print in these modes:
• Tear-off (straight-through). In tear-off printing mode, you
manually tear off the media against the printer’s tear bar.
• Self-strip (peel-off). In self-strip mode, self-adhesive labels are
separated from the liner immediately after printing. You need the
optional self-strip module. For more information, see
“Accessories for the Printer” on page 74.
• Cut-off. Cut-off printing can be used for non-adhesive continuous
stock and self-adhesive labels with liner (cut only liner between
labels). You need the optional cutter accessory. For more
information, see “Accessories for the Printer” on page 74.
