Setup and Loading
By default the cutter is set to operate automatically every time a label is printed out. It will cut between
each label.
Host configuration utilities such as DMXConfig and Tera Term can be used to adjust the feed and reverse
feed rate and if needed, to adjust the cutting position. The cutting function can also be changed to cut on
command instead of automatically.
1. Set the lever to release.
2. Pull out the locking screw to open the
cutter.
3. Load the media from the side and
then through the cutter.
4. Lock the cutter to the printer again
and set the lever to print.
