ECO+Backfeed
After performing above-mentioned ECO, the printer feeds the media backward for the
label pitch length while raising the print head if the following conditions are satisfied.
Notes: 1. This function is enabled only when the sensor type is set to other than
“None”.
2. Conditions for enabling ECO + Backfeed
Hardware
Optional ribbon saving module (solenoid) is installed.
Parameter
RIBBON SAVE parameter is set to TAG or LABEL.
Operation
Media pitch falls between 20mm and 100mm.
The previous issue mode was Batch. (The issue mode is not reset by a power off or a
printer reset.)
Caution
Even if the hardware requirement is not satisfied (i.e. the optional ribbon saving
module is not installed), the printer feeds the media backward when the other
requirements are satisfied. However, this operation is not guaranteed as it is outside of
the specification.
3. In the case the printer cannot detect a gap/black mark while feeding the media, an error occurs on the
following condition. Regarding an error during a feed, refer to the External Equipment Interface
Specification for the B-EX series, Section 7 Error Processing.
OFF
When the relation between the stored media pitch (A) and the media pitch
detected by the sensor (B) does not satisfy the following formula, it will be an
error:
(A) × 50%
(B)
(A) × 150%
STD
ECO
ECO + Backfeed
When a gap/black mark is not detected while feeding 1500-mm media, it will be
an error.
9.5.2 FEED KEY
・
FEED
Feed one label.
・
Print data in the image buffer on one label.
9.5.3 MOVE TO TEAROFF
・
OFF
Disables the auto feed to the cut/strip position after printing.
・
ON
Enables the auto feed to the cut/strip position after printing.
9.5.3.1 MOVE TO TEAROFF POS.
When the "MOVE TO TEAROFF
” parameter is set to ON, the feed amount can be fine adjusted.

Note: Feed amount setting
・
+ (Plus)
Increases the forward feed amount.
・
- (Minus) Decreases the forward feed amount.
Notes:
1. If the pitch of the media used for the previous issue was less than 20mm, the auto feed to the cut/strip
position after printing will not be activated regardless of the parameter setting.
* In the case labels with the different pitch (less than 20mm and 20mm or longer) are alternately placed in
one label roll, the forward feed is not activated for the labels with the pitch of less than 20mm. Therefore it
stays at the print stop position without being fed backward. Before the next label with the pitch of 20mm or
larger is printed, however, it is automatically fed backward along with the previously printed label. This
may cause the print data to be printed on the previous label.
2. The media will stay at the forwarded position even if the power is turned off/on, the printer is reset, or the
print head is opened/closed.
