8.2 OPERATION MODE SELECTION
There are three modes of printer operation: Continuous, Tear-off and Dispense mode. The differences are the
ways in which the label and liner are ejected. Before printer configuration, one must determine which mode
will be used. This section identifies the functional differences among the three.
CONTINUOUS MODE
With this mode of operation, the media remains in position for printing at all times. To do so, means that the
previous printed label is only available for removal when one to four additional labels have been printed
(quantity depends on label size). This mode of operation is specifically suited for printing bulk quantities to be
applied later on.
TEAR-OFF MODE
With this mode of operation, after printing, the printer feeds the first (outermost) label so that it is fully
extended out of the printer’s front for removal. Printing of the next label will not begin until the prior printed
label has been removed. This mode of operation is specifically suited for immediate application at the time of
print.
Upon removal of the prior printed label, the printer retracts the media so that the next label in line may be
printed, then the printer feeds it. This cycle repeats for each consecutive label.
DISPENSE MODE
This mode of operation will peel the liner (paper backing) from the printed label as it is advanced to the
printer’s front. Once the printed label has been removed from the printer for application, the unprinted media
will retract and position itself so the next label may be printed.
This operational mode is specifically applicable to print operations where the label is to be immediately
adhered.
