• If the printer has received print data for the next label at the time of autocutting, the printer
performs autocutting at the position specified by command.
When the printer has not received print data for the next label, the printer automatically
feeds the paper to the specific stop position (fixed at the factory before shipping) below
the end-of-printing position, and performs autocutting. This may make the bottom margin
larger than the one based on the position where autocutting is set.
• The specific stop position is determined by the position where a black mark is detected.
Therefore, if the autocutting position is close to the specific stop position, the printer feeds
the paper to the next specific stop position and performs autocutting, due to paper slack or
variations in the paper, or differences in an individual printer.
• When autocutting is executed by an autocutting command along with paper feeding,
autocutting is performed after paper is fed to the specific stop position that is below the
paper feed position specified by command.
