6. LABEL MODE (INTERFACE COMMANDS)
6.1 GENERAL
DESCRIPTION
This chapter describes details regarding the interface commands for the LABEL mode of the issue
mode.
<<Up to V1.0C>>
There are three issue types, “Batch issue,” “Strip issue” and “Linerless issue.” When the back feed
amount fine adjustment is omitted in the Position Fine Adjust Command in batch issues, regardless of
the selected sensor type, printing is started at 5 mm of from the leading edge of the label. When the
back feed amount fine adjustment is set, printing is started at 3 mm from the leading edge of the label.
Although the back feed amount fine adjustment is set in strip issues, no back feed is performed.
<<V1.0E or later>>
There are three issue types, “Batch issue,” “Strip issue” and “Linerless issue.”
When the back feed amount fine adjustment is omitted in the Position Fine Adjust Command in batch
issues, regardless of the selected sensor type, printing is started at 5 mm of from the leading edge of
the label. When the back feed amount fine adjustment is set, printing is started at 3 mm from the
leading edge of the label.
In batch issue mode when the type of sensor is designated, whether or not to perform a back feed
under the following conditions:
Back feed restriction setting in the
SYSTEM mode or in the Setup
Command
ON OFF
Label pitch of less than 20.0 mm
Performs no back
feed
Performs a back

Label pitch of 20.0 mm or more but less than 24.0
mm and effective print length of less than 15.0 mm
Performs no back

Label pitch of 20.0 mm or more but less than 24.0
mm and effective print length of 15.0 mm or more

Feeding by the FEED key or in the Feed
Command
Performs no back

Performs no back

*1 However, when the label pitch length is equal to the distance between the head and sensor (11.5
mm) or less, a back feed is performed.
In batch and linerless issue modes when the type of sensor is not designated, a back feed operation is
specified depending on the back feed restriction setting in the SYSTEM mode or in the Setup
Command.
When the back feed restriction setting is on and the label pitch or effective print length conforms to the
condition not to perform a back feed, a label located between the head and cutter at the first printing
subsequent to an issue (one or multiple labels) cannot be printed because no back feed is performed.
This waste can be prevented by switching the stop position in the SYSTEM mode from "CUT" to
