8.4 OPERATION MODE SELECTION
There are five modes of printer operation: Continuous, Tear-off, Cutter, Dispense and Linerless (nonsepa)
mode. The differences are the ways in which the label and paper backing are ejected. Before printer
configuration, one must determine which mode will be used. This section identifies the functional differences
among the five.

configuration, one must determine which mode will be used. This section identifies the functional differences
among the five.
CONTINUOUS MODE
With this mode of operation, the media remains in position for printing at all times. To do so, means that the
previous printed label is only available for removal when one to four additional labels have been printed
(quantity depends on label size). This mode of operation is specifically suited for printing bulk quantities to be
applied later on.

TEAR-OFF MODE
With this mode of operation, after printing, the printer feeds the first (outermost) label so that it is fully
extended out of the printer’s front for removal. Printing of the next label will not begin until the prior printed
label has been removed. This mode of operation is specifically suited for immediate application at the time of
print.
Upon removal of the prior printed label, the printer retracts the media so that the next label in line may be
printed, then the printer feeds it. This cycle repeats for each consecutive label.

CUTTER MODE
With the optional cutter unit installed and enabled, this mode of operation will cut individual printed labels or in
multiples. The media will be advanced to the cutter blade, the label cut will occur, and the unprinted media will
retract for positioning of the next print.

DISPENSE MODE
When the optional dispenser is installed and enabled, this mode of operation will peel the liner (paper
backing) from the printed label as it is advanced to the printer’s front. Once the printed label has been
removed from the printer for application, the unprinted media will retract and position itself so the next label
may be printed.
This operational mode is specifically applicable to print operations where the label is to be immediately
adhered.

LINERLESS (Non Sepa) MODE
When the linerless option is installed and enabled, this mode of operation allows for the feeding and printing
of linerless media. In this mode, the printer’s functionality is the same as with the continuous or tear-off modes
depending on configuration settings.
