The i7500 has a separate model printer, Peel, that will present a label and partially peel it off the liner. If the Label Taken Sensor accessory is installed on the printer, once a label is removed from the liner the next label presents automatically.
Review i7500 - Load Labels and Ribbon for instructions on how to load materials in the printer.
The Peel model has three different printer modes:
The Printer Mode can be changed after the initial setup in Settings < Print Adjustments < Printer Mode.
The Printer Mode can also be set in Brady Workstation.
Tear-Off
In tear-off mode, labels or continuous media are printed. After printing, the label strip can be separated by hand. The label printer must be equipped with a tearoff plate for this feature.
- Tap Tear-Off.
- Tap Next.
- Close the printhead.
Adjust Tear-Off Settings in Settings < Print Adjustments < Printer Mode.
Peel Mode
Auto-presented materials are automatically peeled off the liner after printing and presented for removal. Tapping the touchscreen will then print and present the next label in the job.
An optional accessory, called the Label Taken Sensor, can be installed to determine when a label is removed and will then automatically trigger the next label to peel and present. Test any material for peel printing to the intended application. Print and peel performance on any label is dependent on multiple factors including, but not limited to, auto-present characteristics of the material, label size, peel offset distance, and print speed. Peel operation is limited to 1-across labels and peeling of multi-across labels is not recommended or supported.
