media path is the same for roll and fanfold media.
Table 2 • Print Modes and Printer Options
Print Mode Description
TEAR OFF
This mode (default) can be used with any printer options and most media types.
The printer prints label formats as it receives them. The printer operator can tear
off the printed labels any time after they print.
PEEL-OFF
This mode can be used if the printer has a rewind option.
The printer peels the label from the liner during printing and then pauses until the
label is removed. The backing is wound on the rewind spindle without using the
rewind plate.
REWIND
This mode can be used only if the printer has a rewind option.
The printer prints without pausing between labels. The media is wound onto a core
after printing. The rewind plate is used to keep the labels from separating from the
backing.
CUTTER
This mode can be used only if the printer has a cutter option.
The printer cuts between labels after each one is printed.
DELAYED CUT
This mode can be used only if the printer has a cutter option.
The printer waits for a delayed cut ZPL command (~JK) before it cuts the last
printed label.

APPLICATOR
This mode is for use with a machine that applies labels.
The printer prints when it receives a signal from the applicator. Refer to the
Advanced User Information section of the Maintenance Manual for additional
information about the applicator interface.
