10-2 About Cutting
About Cutting
The term “cut” is used in multiple ways in the Color & Cut system. To
help you avoid confusion, the terms as used are defined here:
Cut The standard Microsoft Windows “Cut” command, which
means removing an object from its current location and
temporarily storing it for later retrieval. (This term is
not used in this chapter.)
Cut out The action of cutting out objects or text using the plotter
cutter inside your printer. The cutter follows the shape
of the object or text. An object that is cut out cannot be
printed.
Cut out
frame
The action of cutting out a label that has been framed.
You apply a frame to a label using the Label Properties
options (See Adding a label frame on page 6-32). The
plotter cutter cuts around the outside edge of the frame
line.
Also, when you apply the Supply Saver option or are
printing multiple copies, the system performs this action
automatically. (See Supply saver option on page 11-22
for more information.)
Cut
bounding
box
The action of cutting around an object that is enclosed by
a cut bounding box. The plotter cutter cuts the box
shape, not the shape of the object inside it.
Print To produce or to output the contents of the current file.
For the Color & Cut system, the labels in a file may
include both printed objects and cut out objects, even
though print objects may only be printed and cut out
objects may only be cut out.
Shear A straight cut through the tape and liner that separates
the output label from the remaining tape supply.
Weeding A cut around the outside of a cut text object.
