"No backfeed" option has been removed. Print stream reflect with sending PM5 and not PM6.CL4NX/CL6NX Operation Mode - Partial cut - cut when printing - Backfeed mode is "Before printing" instead of After printingCL6NX Operation mode - Partial cut - cut when printing - "Before printing" option has been removed CL6NX Operation mode - Partial cut - cut when printing - print stream reflect PM9. This is solved with change of operation mode option from Partial cut into "Cutter - cut when printing). This option sends PMB.Operation mode "Cutter - cut when printing" has just one Backfeed mode "Before printing". Because no other is possible, the combo for backfeed is disabled disabled on GUI.

• Added Operation mode for:BF400R, M-48 Pro and ST300R printers. Also Pitch offset is added like it is used on other Japanese printer models.Added Operation mode > Cutter- cut when prinitng (B) for SG600R printers. Operation mode "Cutter-cut when prinitng" is also added for Store settings dialog (ESC+PG command) on SG600R printers.When for Operating mode "Dispenser" is selected there are just two Backfeed mode options (No backfeed option has been removed).There is no Backfeed mode option when "Cutter - cut when printing" is selected for Operation mode.Operation mode combo has the same width as Backfeed mode to fit the length of all values.Linerless operation mode sends two PO commands now. PO0 + PO3.ForBF400R, M-48 Pro and ST300R printers: Operation offset combo is removed from "Print Options" dialog because now the operation mode is supported on all models, and Backfeed offset is used for the operation offset.
