This product automatically cuts the print media when printing is finished. (Full cut) In addition, a half cut is made between the tubes and labels after printing, so that you can cut the tubes by hand or cleanly peel off labels from release paper.
Change the Half Cut Settings
The default setting is "(Half Cut) On."
If you do not want to use a half cut, you can print the cut line (solid/dotted line).

If the cutter blade is becoming less sharp or half cutting is too deep, adjust the depth of the cut.
Adjustment can be set for both "Half cut" and "Full cut."
Change the Cut Depth for Half Cut
The cut depth for half cut can be set for each print media. The default setting is set to "Normal."
If
cutting is difficult depending on the material of the print media, adjust the motion of the cut.
[Example] The half cut of the label tape is too deep (or too shallow), so adjust the half cut depth.

If you make the cut depth deeper than necessary, the cutter and blade receiver will
wear out quickly.
If the half cut is too deep even when the cut depth is adjusted to the shallowest
setting, the blade receiver may be worn out. Replace the cutter and blade receiver.
Change the Cut Depth for Full Cut
The cut depth for the full cut can be set for each print media. The default setting is set to "Normal."
[Example] The full cut of the tube is not cut properly, so make the cut one step deeper.

If you make the cut depth deeper than necessary, the cutter and blade receiver will
wear out quickly.
If the situation is not improved after adjusting the cut depth for full cut, use "Forced full cut." With Forced full cut, the cut is made to the deepest point. If the situation is not improved even after using Forced full cut, replace the cutter.

If it does not cut well when you change the print media, adjust the motion of the cut.
Adjustment can be set for both "Half cut" and "Full cut."
If the cutter blade is becoming less sharp, adjust the depth of the cut.
Change the Motion of the Half Cut
The motion of the half cut can be set for each print media. The default setting is set to "Normal."
[Example] The half cut of the label tape is not cut properly, so the cut is made stronger.
