Backfeed
Speed
Backfeed refers to the backward motion of the media from the tear-off or peel-off position to
the print position. This motion occurs so that more of the lead edge of each label can be used
for printing. Reducing backfeed speed can mitigate some issues. In general, reducing the
backfeed speed may improve print quality at the start of the label. This speed defaults to
2
ips.
Accepted values:
• ZE500-4 203 dpi: 2–12 ips
• ZE500-4 300 dpi: 2–12 ips
• ZE500-6 203 dpi: 2–12 ips

Tear-Off
Position
If necessary, adjust the position of the media over the tear-off bar after printing.
• Higher numbers move the media out (the tear line moves closer to the leading edge of
the next label).
• Lower numbers move the media in (the tear line moves closer to the edge of the label
just printed).
