mode, see PRINT MODE on page 111.
Table 4 • 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.
