Section 3: Using the Integrated Cutter

The printer has an integrated cutter that is designed to cut
media on a continuous roll. By default the printer will auto-
matically cut the media immediately after the image is printed.
You can adjust when the cutter will cut and the cut position by
accessing the settings in the Printer Preferences.
WARNING: The cutter is not designed to cut through adhesive-backed
media such as labels. While it will cut through most adhesive-backed
media, continued use in this manner will cause premature wear on
the cutter blade and excessive adhesive build-up.
To Find Driver Settings:
Click the Start button; choose Printers and Faxes. Right-click
on the Color Label 450 icon and select Printing Preferences
from the drop-down menu.
Adjust the Following Settings:
Output Mode:
Do not Present. The media does not move after the last image
is printed. This means that part of the last image printed is
still in the printer. The media is not cut in this mode.
Cut after No Activity. Use this setting to print multiple
images/pages/documents consecutively and then cut after all
have been printed. The time to wait before cutting can be
adjusted using the Present Delay key in the configuration
INI file. See Section 5.
Cut Every Label (default setting). This mode presents and cuts
the printed image after every print. Use for standard one-off
printing.
