The cutter is activated by CUT or CUT ON statements in the Fin-
gerprint program, see the Intermec Fingerprint v7.61, Program-
mer's Reference Manual.
The rotating edge will cut through the media approx. 37 mm (1.5
inches) in front of the printer's dot line. The media feed setup
should be adjusted accordingly.
The following values are recommended for cutting between labels
and for cutting continuous strip. In both cases, the start adjustment
is calculated to allow the media be pulled back after cutting, so
printing can start directly at the forward edge.
Feed adjustment Cut between labels
Start adjust:
Stop adjust:
Should the cutter inadvertently have been used to cut through any
adhesive, you will have to clean the "knife", which is a rotating
shaft with an edge. Tilt down the cutter and use a piece of tissue
moistened with isopropyl alcohol, or a similar solvent, to wipe
clean the shaft.
Do not force the spring-loaded anvil blade open, which may
damage the spring.
Switch off the power or disconnect the cutter before cleaning.
Keep fi ngers away from cutting parts!
Do not force the spring-loaded anvil blade open more than 5-10 mm
(0.2–0.4 inches), or the spring may be damaged.
