Accurately Adjusting the Cutting-in Amount

When you want to perform accurate and fine adjustment of the cutting-in amount, such as when cutting media
with thin backing paper, you can obtain good results by adjusting the amount of blade extension. Turn the
cap portion of the blade holder to adjust the amount of blade extension. Each indicator tick corresponds to
0.1 mm (3.9 mil), and adjustment for 0.5 mm (19.7 mil) can be made by rotating the cap one full turn.
Note that making the amount of blade extension too small may cause the tip of the blade holder cap to touch,
and may soil and damage the printed surface. It is important to be especially careful about this when you are
using media that has poor ink-adhesion properties.
