Cutting Requirements
Table 1, below, lists the media requirements for use in the cutter mechanism. For a complete listing of
media requirements, see the Operator's Manual.
Description
Media Width
Media Weight Maximum
The values in the following tables are only provided as a guide and should not be used as specifications
since variances within the same basis weight can occur due to the characteristics of the stock. In
addition, similar weight stocks can vary between manufacturers.
Note: The cutter may able to cut heavier media than indicated, but it is recommended that cutting
performance be verified by testing the cutter with the intended stock.
Table 2 shows the approximate media thickness in mils (thousands of an inch) relative to the metric
weight for that media.
Table 3 shows the different basis weights for the differing media types, which are "equivalent" in
weight when compared to the metric weight.
