Continuous Print tags or labels in one strip.
On-Demand Print one label, once that label is removed, the next label prints.
Liner Take-up Print labels while the liner is collected on a take-up reel inside the
printer. This is optional.
Setting the Cut Mode
Set how the printer cuts tags. Purchase the optional 933 Cutter. The supply may shift as
the cutter cuts and you may see a small disruption on the printed supply. This shift does
not affect bar code quality. There is no cut button on the printer – select the appropriate
cut mode for your application.
Since the cutter is 3.4 inches away from the printhead, printed tags may be left between
the printhead and cutter. The cutter operates when the printer is running. If the printer is
paused, the cutter stops cutting. The cutter also stops cutting whenever the cutter’s
cover is opened.
Note: When cutting RFID supplies, enable tag saver.
