Label Cutter
The label cutter consists of an internal mechanism that will cut labels or tags as
they exit from the printer. The cutter can be used to print labels of various
lengths using continuous form label/tag stock or to easily separate labels when
there is no performation at the label gap.
Operator Setup

To remove the roll from the spindle, first set the power switch to OFF.
Remove the metal clamp, then remove the rewound roll of labels.
To unwind for using with an applicator, first set the power switch OFF.
Attach the lead edge of the labels from the rewind spindle to the applicator
entry point. Select the WIND option of the rewinder, and when ready to
getin, set the power switch to ON.
The following steps should be taken to set up the Label Cutter.
1. Install the label cutter, following the instructions provided with the
unit.
2. Power the printer ON.
3. The printer must be configured to use the Label Cutter option.
Switches DSW3-1 and DSW3-2 on the front panel are used to configure
the printer. To enable the cutter, DSW3-1 should be in the ON position
and DSW3-2 should be in the OFF position.

feed labels into the cutter area. You may want to have the printer powered
OFF at this point.

6. The Label Cutter is ready for use.
7. Adjust the cut position using the backfeed adjustment procedures
outlined in Section 2, Installation and Configuration.
General Operation
The data stream to be sent to the printer may need to be altered to add the
Cutter Command. If this command is not used, the cutter will default to cut
after every label assuming it has been enabled in the printer contiguration.
For more details, see Section 4, Command Codes. As the labels are printed,
they will be cut based on the data supplied using the cutter command.
