Description

This article shows how to adjust the cutting depth of the Mk1500.

Solution

Changing the cutting depth

If the cutter does not properly cut tube or tape label, try changing the cutting depth. The cutting depth for half cuts and for full cuts can be adjusted as described below. In addition, these adjustments can be made separately for each type of print media.

 If half cuts are made so deeply that they completely cut through the tube, adjust cutting to a shallower depth. Note that a deeper cutting depth will cause the cutter and the cutter receiver to wear out more quickly.
