Print Mode |
How the device handles the media. |
Continuous Operation: The device prints on the media and sends it out the front of the device. If the device has an internal rewinder, this option can be used for Batch Rewind mode. Cut Each Label: Media is cut after printing each page (requires optional cutter). Peel Off: The device prints and peels die-cut labels from the liner without manual assistance. The device waits for the operator to remove a label before printing the next one. The label backing is rewound on the internal rewinder if one is present. A LABEL PRESENT/Remove Label message prompts the operator to remove the label before the next one can be printed. Tear Off: After each label is printed, the device positions the media over the tear-off bar and waits for the operator to tear-off the label before printing the next one. A LABEL PRESENT/Remove Label message prompts the operator to remove the label before the next one can be printed. Tear Off Strip: The device prints on the media and sends it out the front until the print buffer is empty, then positions the last label over the tear-off bar for removal. (Default) Rewind: The device unwinds the media from the roll or fanfold stack, prints the labels, and then rewinds the labels and carrier web onto the rewind spindle. This option functions only if the device has an internal rewinder and supports this option. For more information, see the Printronix documentation for your device. Do Not Send Option: No value for this option is sent to the device. Select this value if you want to configure the option at your device. |
