Step 3: Using the Option
During operation, labels will be peeled from the backing material and dispensed “on-demand” – that is,
subsequent printing will occur only after a previously printed label has been removed from the printer. As a
reminder, “REMOVE LABEL” will be displayed to prompt you when a label awaits removal.
Begin using the option as follows:

A) Load Media (see the Operator’s Manual for
details). Extend 20 inches (50 cm) of Media
from the printer.
B) Remove the labels from this extended portion
of media, leaving only the Backing Material.
Crease the leading edge of this Backing
Material and route it behind the Present
Sensor (on the Peel & Present Assembly).

Notes: (1) The operation of the Present Sensor on this option can also be controlled by host
software commands, so ensure that your labeling program is properly configured for use
when sending label formats to the printer.
(2) If this option is removed with power applied, the printer will behave as if a label awaits
removal; to restore normal operation, cycle power to the printer.
Step 4: Configuring the Printer
While the Peel & Present option is a plug and play device, this step may be necessary if the printer’s
default configuration has been changed. Follow the steps below to configure the printer:
Note: In the following procedure, consult the Operator’s Manual for detailed front panel instructions.
A) Press the MENU Button on the printer’s front panel.
B) Using the DOWN Button, scroll to PRINTER OPTIONS then press the RIGHT Button.
C) Using the DOWN Button, scroll to PRESENT SENSOR then press the ENTER Key.
D) Using the DOWN Button, scroll to MODE then press the ENTER Key.
E) Using the DOWN Button, scroll to AUTO then press the ENTER Key.
F) Press the EXIT Key then, at the SAVE CHANGES? prompt, select YES to complete the installation.
G) Turn the Power Switch ‘Off’ and ‘On’ to reset the printer and complete the configuration.
Note: If the printer fails to separate the labels from the backing material, the Internal Rewinder may
need to be enabled. Using the procedure above as a guide, press the MENU Button, scroll to
PRINTER OPTIONS, then to REWINDER, and select AUTO. Afterward, press the EXIT Key
and save your changes when prompted.

Maintaining the Peel & Present Assembly
To ensure trouble free operation, the Peel & Present Assembly should be cleaned after every 100,000
inches (254,000 cm) of media use. This interval depends on the label adhesive, where “gummy”
adhesives may require more frequent cleaning. (To easily track label usage, go to SYSTEM SETTINGS
MEDIA COUNTERS in the printer’s menu system.) Clean the assembly as follows:
1. Turn ‘Off’ the Power Switch and unplug the power cord from the AC Receptacle. Raise the Access
Cover and remove the media from the printer.
2. Remove the Peel & Present Assembly from the printer.
3. Using compressed air or a soft brush, clean the Sensors.
Note: For cleaning heavy deposits, isopropyl alcohol can be used – provided it is carefully
applied using a cotton swab, and then allowed to dry before reconnecting the option to the
printer.
