Auto Cut function (d + f)
Each setting of the Auto Cut function consists of
settings for three different cut methods: full cut
(which is used to completely cut off the label),
half cut (which is used to cut laminated tape
without cutting the label backing, making it eas-
ier to remove the backing paper from labels),
and chain printing (where the last copy is not
cut off, reducing the amount of tape that is
wasted).
Chain printing is an economical function
designed to help eliminate "wasted tape" at the
beginning of labels. Without chain printing, the
usual leftover tape from the previous printing
session is wasted before the first label in the cur-
rent session is printed. However, if an Auto Cut
setting using chain printing is selected, the last
label in the previous session remains in the
machine (is not fed out), so that the next label
can be printed without wasting tape.
