About Cut-Off Printing

42
In cut-off printing, each label is automatically cut from the media roll
immediately after the label is printed. You can print on non-adhesive,
continuous label stock. You can also use self-adhesive labels with a
liner, but you must cut only the liner.
Caution: You must not use the cutter to cut through any kind of
adhesive, or other soft material, that may stick to the cutting parts
and render the cutter inoperable or even damage the electric
motor.
The cutter module includes the top of form sensor. You can also install
the optional cutter tray accessory, which holds up to 20 labels or
tickets.
After you load media, you need to configure the cutter and the feed
adjust settings. You may need to adjust the recommended values
slightly depending on your media type, supply method, and roll sizes,
or because of individual differences between printers.
Note: Feed adjust values for simulator command languages like
ESim, ZSim, and DSim are preset.
