6.1
Printing in Tear-off Mode
After printing the label is torn-off manually. For this
the printer is equipped with a tear-off plate.

used to cut off or perforate labels and endless mate-
rial automatically after printing.
The cutting mode must be activated in the

6.3
Synchronizing the Paper
Feed
After the label stock has been inserted, for cut-
ting mode a synchronization of the paper feed is
required. That way the fi rst label, which is detected
by the label sensor, will be transported to the print
position and all labels in front will be fed out of the
printer. So the synchronization avoids, that the fi rst
cut label would be too long. That can cause useless
fi rst label.
•
Press
to start the synchronization.
•
Remove the blank labels cut during the synchro-
nization
Synchronization is not necessary if the
printhead was not opened between dif-
ferent print jobs, even if the printer was
switched off.
