Cutter Option

The printer supports a factory installed media cutter option for full width cutting of label liner, tag or receipt media. These cutter options are all supported in a single cutter housing design. The type of cutter option installed in your printer can be verified by printing a printer configuration status label. The cutter options are:

•A medium duty cutter for cutting label liner and light tag media (LINER/TAG)

Maximum Paper Weight (thickness): up to 180 g/m2 (0.0077 in.)

Life*: 2 million cuts: 0.5 mil to 5 mil stock (10-120 g/m2) 1 million cuts: 5 mil to 7.5 mil stock (120-180 g/m2) 750,000 cuts: 7.5 mil to 10 mil (180-200 g/m2)

*- Exceeding the maximum media weight (density/hardness) and thickness will shorten the cutters usable life or can cause the cutter to fail (jam or other error).

•Cut Width: 4.25 inches (108 mm) maximum to 0.75 inches (19 mm) minimum

•Minimum distance between cuts (label length): 1 inch (25.4 mm). Cutting shorter media lengths between the cuts may cause the cutter to jam or error.

•By default, the cutter operations include a self cleaning preventive maintenance cleaning cut after every twenty-fifth cut. This feature can be disabled via ZPL or EPL SGD (Set/Get/DO) programming command (cutter.clean_cutter) but is not recommended.

Warning • There are no operator serviceable parts in the cutter unit. Never remove the cutter cover (bezel). Never attempt to insert objects or fingers in to the cutter mechanism.

Important • Tools, cotton swabs, solvents (including alcohol), etc. all may damage or shorten the cutter’s usable life or cause the cutter to jam.
