Instruction manual
Syntax {I,G,action,dis_pos,bkfd_dis p }
G1. G Backfeed Control Packet
G2. action Action. If using one-inch RFID Supplies, do not use backfeed. Options:
0 disable backfeed (default)
1 enable backfeed (use on any printer without a knife)
2 enable extended backfeed (use on any printer with a knife)
Note: We do not recommend setting a positive cut position for any
supply while using extended backfeed. You may cut off the
leading edge of the next tag.
G3. dis_pos Dispense Position. Adjusts the stopping point of the label. 50 to 200 dots
(default 65 dots). Use 95 dots for the printer applicator.
G4. bkfd_dis Backfeed Distance. Amount to move label backwards. 10 to 200 dots
(default 65 dots). Use 95 dots for the printer applicator. This distance can
not be greater than the dispense position.
The backfeed distance should equal the dispense position. An exception is
if you are tearing instead of peeling. Then, the backfeed distance must be
30 dots (.150 inches) less than the dispense position. However, you will
have a 30 dot non-print zone on your supply. The 30-dot difference
accounts for improper tearing of butt cut supplies, because you do not want
any exposed adhesive under the printhead.
Example {I,G,2 p }
Enables extended backfeed and cuts any tags remaining between the knife
and printhead and moves the supply backwards so the next tag is
underneath the printhead. Using cut mode 4, you do not have to press
FEED/CUT to cut the last tag.
Example {I,G,1,50,10 p }
Enables backfeed and sets the dispense position to 0.25 inches (50/203)
and the backfeed distance to 0.05 inches (10/203).
