Description of cut mode operation:
Cut Mode Cut Before first tag

No* Cut Modes 3 and 5 minimize the number of tags left between the printhead and the
cutter. Depending on the length of supply being cut, there may be one tag left between
the printhead and the cutter.
Yes* The last tag in the batch is queued to be cut once it reaches the cutter; however, there
may be printed tags left between the printhead and the cutter. The user must send
another batch to feed the last tag out far enough to be cut.
Note: Using "overstrike/continue" as the Error Action minimizes the number of RFID tags left
between the printhead and cutter. To use the least amount of RFID tags, set overstrike
to five.
