Chapter 1 — Description General Information The cutter is a factory-installed or field-installable option for the EasyCoder PF4i and PF4i Compact Industrial printers. The cutter auto- matically cuts off the media after printing according to instructions in the controlling firmware. The cut off portions of media are presented at the front of the cutter and can be collected on a removable tray.
Media The cutter is primarily intended to cut paper-based media in the form of continuous stock. It is also possible to cut through the liner between labels, but be careful not to cut through the labels themselves, because the adhesive will stick to the cutting blade and may cause malfunction. Avoid cutting soft plastic-based media.
