Backfeed

In the cut and dispense mode, the material will be stopped in a position where

the front edge of the following label has already been forwarded over the print

line. The Apollo will carry out a backfeed of the label material from its cut/

dispense position to the print line. Thus, the next label can be printed all at once.

The backfeed will be performed independent of the label design if the parameter is

set on "always". If the setting is on "smart", the backfeed will only be performed if

the front label is in its cut/ dispense position and the Apollo has not yet received all

of the data for printing the following label. Otherwise, the print of the second label

will be started, but only completed after the first one has been picked up. Smart

backfeed can cause flaws in the printed image.

Besides, Apollo 1 offers to select from two backfeed modes, either "head lift-off"

or "head down". By selecting Head lift-off the printhead is raised with each

backfeed of material. This prevents smudging of the label material by the

ribbon. If the printhead is turned down the accuracy of positioning is more

precise.
