Increasing Small Label Throughput

CUT BEHIND is a menu setting that allows the printer to queue then cut a specified number (0 – 2) of

small labels, where the elimination of repeated positioning operations can result in a throughput

increase. To achieve faster throughputs when cutting batches of small labels, follow the procedure

below to establish the queue amount and setup the printer:

a) Measure the length (L) of your media, label edge to label edge including gap, if any.

b) Calculate the Cut Behind number (N): Divide the distance** of 1.24 inches (31.50 mm) by the

length (L) of the media. N = 1.24 ÷ L

**This distance may vary between printers and require slight modification.

c) Calculate the Present Distance (PD): Subtract the product of the length (L) and the Cut Behind

number (N) from the distance** of 1.24 inches (31.50 mm). PD = 1.24 – (N x L)

d) Enter the calculated Present Distance (PD) in the PRINT CONTROL / PRESENT DISTANCE

menu.

e) Enter the calculated Cut Behind number (N) in the PRINTER OPTIONS / CUTTER / CUT

BEHIND menu, and then exit the menu and save your settings.

Test the setup: With the media installed, repeatedly press the FEED Key to verify the cut location

– if the location is incorrect adjust the PRESENT DISTANCE accordingly, adding distance to

move the cut farther out or subtracting to move it closer. When satisfactory, the printer is ready

for use.

 Notes:

PRINT CONTROL / PRESENT DISTANCE cannot be set to AUTO.

SYSTEM SETTINGS / FAULT HANDLING / VOID AND RETRY should not be used with this

function.

During the setup process some queued blank labels may be lost.

See the Operator's Manual for menu and other details.
