Print Mode Select a print mode that is compatible with your print engine options.
Accepted values:
• APPLICATOR—The print engine prints a label when
it receives a signal from the applicator.
• TEAR OFF—The print engine prints label formats as
it receives them. The print engine operator can tear off
the printed labels any time after they print.
• STREAM—The print engine prints a batch of labels
with backfeed occurring only at the start and end of
the batch instead of between individual labels. This
setting increases label throughput in batch printing.
• REWIND—The print engine prints without pausing
between labels. The media is wound onto a core after
printing.
