Device types

Standard device

The standard device is used for printing labels or continuous media on rolls
or fanfolded media.

In Tear-Off mode, labels are removed by hand.

The labels can be cut off automatically with the 'cutter' accessory. For details,
see

Chapter 9: CU4 Cutter Accessory

The labels can be wound up with the 'external rewinder' accessory. For
details, see

External Rewinder (ER1)

on page 8-6 and

External Rewinder (ER4)

Because there is no internal rewinder, automatic peeling off of the labels from
the carrier medium (Peel-Off mode) and internal rewinding are not possible.
