Defining the Backfeed Control Packet
Use the backfeed control packet (G) to enable or disable the backfeed
option, set the dispense position and the backfeed distance. Backfeed
works by advancing each printed label to the desired dispense position.
Once that label is removed, the next label to be printed is backed up
underneath the printhead. In continuous mode, only the last label in the
batch is advanced to the dispense position. You may need to adjust the
dispense position to allow labels to be removed, die cut labels to be
removed easily, or to prevent them from falling off.
Extended backfeed is available on the 9855 printer with a knife installed.
Extended backfeed feeds a tag far enough out to be cut and backfeeds the
next tag to the printhead line. You can not change the backfeed distance
while the printer is active.
Extended backfeed eliminates printed tags being left between the printhead
and knife. Extended backfeed does not work with non-indexed (continuous)
supply/mode. We do not recommend using extended backfeed when
sensing on attacher-hole supplies.
The 9860 printer automatically backfeeds when necessary. Backfeed is also
cut-mode dependent. See “Defining the Batch Control Field” in Chapter 6 for
more information about the best cut mode for your application.
Do not use backfeed (normal or extended) with supplies less than 0.75
inches. We recommend using 0.5-inch gap supplies in peel mode when
backfeed is disabled.
The dispense position and backfeed distance are optional parameters and
do not have to be specified. However, they allow for greater precision when
positioning the supply.
