Description

Learn how to change the cutting method of the Mk1500.

Solution

Half cuts and full cuts

If you examine a long tube that has been printed and fed through the machine, you will see notches between each segment. These notches allow you to break the individual tube segments apart by hand. The same is true for label tape. The notches make it easy to peel each label off. These notches are called Half cut. After the last tube or label tape, a complete cut is made. This is called a Full cut.

Turning off half cuts

Instead of making half cuts, you can print a cutting line. The cutting line can be either a solid line or a dotted line. It is also possible to print without either half cuts or cutting lines.
