WARNING!

The cutter is sharp, so care must be taken not to injure yourself when handling the cutter.

CAUTION!

1.Be sure to cut the backing paper of the label. Cutting labels will cause the glue to stick to the cutter which may affect the cutter quality and shorten the cutter life.

2.Use of tag paper when the thickness exceeds the specified value may affect the cutter life.

NOTE:

When using the Rotary Cutter, be sure to install the Ribbon Saving Module (B-9904-R-QM).

Failure to do this may cause a paper jam or ribbon error.
