Auto Cut function (￿+ ￿)

Each setting of the Auto Cut function consists of settings for three different cut methods: full cut (which is used to completely cut off the label), half cut (which is used to cut laminated tape without cutting the label backing, making it eas- ier to remove the backing paper from labels), and chain printing (where the last copy is not cut off, reducing the amount of tape that is wasted).

Chain printing is an economical function designed to help eliminate “wasted tape” at the beginning of labels. Without chain printing, the usual leftover tape from the previous printing session is wasted before the first label in the cur- rent session is printed. However, if an Auto Cut setting using chain printing is selected, the last label in the previous session remains in the machine (is not fed out), so that the next label can be printed without wasting tape.
