* The last tag in the batch is queued to be cut once it reaches the knife; however, there may be printed
tags left between the printhead and the knife. The user must press FEED/CUT or send another batch
to feed the last tag out far enough to be cut. Enabling extended backfeed eliminates printed tags
between the knife and printhead.
** The printer feeds the last tag in the batch out far enough to be cut. No user intervention
is required to cut the last tag.
Note: The 9860 printer automatically backfeeds when necessary. See
“Defining the Backfeed Control Packet” in Chapter 2 for more
information. Do not use extended backfeed when sensing on
attacher-hole supplies.
Using "overstrike/continue" as the Error Action minimizes the
number of RFID tags left between the printhead and knife. To use
the least amount of RFID tags, set overstrike to five. Refer to the
printer's Operator's Handbook for more information.
