1.When using the rotary cutter on the B-E4T series, the print speed of 10”/sec. is not supported. Also, when using the rotary cutter, be sure to install the ribbon saving module (B-EX904-R-QM-R). Failure to do this may cause a paper jam or ribbon error. (For the installation procedure, please refer to Section 4.9.)
2.The B B-EX204-R-QM-R with the serial number of 2805Dxxxxxx or earlier cannot be installed on an RFID-ready printer (2804Sxxxxxx or later) without changing some parts of the cutter drive unit. For the parts change procedure, refer to the following:
