Using the Media Cutter

Printers that have a bezel with a motorized blade can dispense one or more forms that are then automatically cut from the media supply.

This option cuts through continuous paper from rolls and liner between labels. The media can be up to 0.0055 inch (0.095mm) thick, 1.12 inch (28mm) to 4.25 inches (108mm) wide, and at least 0.75 inch (19.1mm) long. The den- sity of media can be up to 120 grams/meter2. Blade life is 1,000,000 cuts.

Use the OC command to activate the cutter and the Q command to set the form length and gap distance. See the EPL2 programmer's manual.
