QL Series User Guide

Loading the Media

You can operate QL Series printers in one of two different

modes: Tear-Off or Peel-Off. Tear-Off mode allows you to tear

off each label (or a strip of labels) after it is printed. In Peel-Off

mode, the backing material is peeled away from the label as it

is printed. After you remove this label, the next one is printed.
