XY Cutting (BBP
®
37 ONLY)
XY Cutting is the action of cutting out objects or text using the plotter cutter inside your
printer. The cutter follows the shape of the object or text. All objects can be print OR cut, but
not both simulataneously.
You can also cut out a label that has been framed. The plotter cutter cuts around the outside
edge of the frame line.
You can cut around an object that is enclosed by a cut bounding box. A cut bounding box is a
border you can set around objects that you want to print AND cut. The plotter cutter cuts the
box shape, not the shape of the object inside it.
You create cut out objects by adding them to a label, the same way you create and add print
objects. However, once you choose the Cut out object option, your other choices are limited to
objects that may be cut out.
Not all tape supplies are appropriate for cutting. If the cutter cannot use the tape installed in the
printer, the Cut out option in the control panel will be grayed out.
XY Cutter Blade Height (BBP
®
37 ONLY)
Different tape material requires different blade heights. When you touch the Print button, a
message displays indicating if the media installed is able to be cut. If it is, another message
displays indicating the blade height to use (height 1 or 2). To adjust the blade height:
1. Open the printer cover.
Looking into the printer from the side of the cover latch, the yellow stylus used for adjusting
the blade height is located on the right side of the printer.
2. Grasp the tab extending from the sylus and turn the stylus to the left for blade height #2, or
to the right for blade height #1 (as depicted on the label attached to the stylus mechanism).
