8.3 OPERATION MODE SELECTION
There are different modes of printer operation: Continuous, Tear off, Dispensing, Cutter, Linerless Cutter,
Journal, Cutter Journal and Linerless Cutter Journal mode. The differences are the ways in which the label
and liner (paper backing) are ejected. Before printer configuration, one must determine which mode will be
used. This section identifies the functional differences among the eight.
8.3.1 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 two 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.
In the figure below, n labels are printed (where n is equal to 1 or more).
Before printing, label number 1 is in the printing start position.
When all n labels are printed, label number n+1 is in the printing start position.
