Self-strip Model
(option)
The Self-strip model of the EasyCoder 71 is fitted with a dispenser
edge and a plastic cover on the front, and a label-taken sensor above
the label outfeed area. With these features, the printer strips the label
from the backing paper each time a label is printed. The label-taken
sensor (LTS) is a photo-electric sensor that keeps the printer from
printing a new label until the previous one has been removed. The
LTS is automatically engaged when completely extended.
