Specifications

If you want to save the changes you made using the ZPL II commands
just described or through the front panel, there are two ways to do it.
1. Refer to your User’s Guide for specific instructions on how to
set up your front panel to manually save the instructions.
2. Use the ^JUa instruction. (See note on page 9.)
Print Mode
The ^MM (Print Mode) instruction determines the action the printer
takes after a label or group of labels has been printed. There are four
different modes of operation.
1. Tear Off - After printing, the label is advanced so that the web
is over the tear bar. Label, with backing attached, can then be
torn off manually.
2. Rewind - Label and backing are rewound on an (optional)
internal rewind device. The next label is positioned under the
printhead (no backfeed motion).
3. Peel Off - After printing, the label is partially separated from the
backing. Printing stops until the label is completely removed.
Backing is rewound using an internal backing only rewind
spindle. (NOTE: Select only if printer is equipped with internal
rewind spindle.)
4. Cutter - The web separating the printed label and the next blank
label to be printed is extended into the cutter mechanism. The
label is cut. The blank label is then pulled back into the printer
so it can be printed.
Media Tracking
The ^MN (Media Tracking) instruction tells the printer what type of
media is being used (continuous or non-continuous) for purposes of
tracking. There are two choices for this instruction:
1. Continuous Media - This media has no physical characteristic
(i.e. a web, notch, perforation, etc.) to separate labels. Label
Length is determined by the ^LL instruction (described on
page 278).
