Cut Behind Setup 
 
The printer can queue then cut a specified number (0 – 2) of small labels, resulting in a 
throughput increase. To improve throughput when cutting batches of small labels, follow the 
procedure below:  
 
1)  Measure the length (L) of your media, label edge to label edge including gap, if any. 
 
2)  Determine the distance** (D) from the burn line to cutter blade.  
 
**This distance may vary between printers and require slight modification. 
 
3)  Calculate the Cut Behind number (N) by dividing the distance (D) by the length (L) of 
the media.   
 
N = D ÷ L 
 
4)  Calculate the Present Distance (PD) by subtracting the product of the length (L) and Cut 
Behind number (N) from the distance (D).  
 
PD = D – (N x L) 
 
5)  Enter the calculated Present Distance (PD) as the PRINT CONTROL / PRESENT DISTANCE 
setting; see Section 4.2.2.  
 
6)  Enter the calculated Cut Behind number (N) as the PRINTER OPTIONS / CUTTER setting 
(see Section 4.2.3) and then exit the menu and save your settings. 
 
7)  Verify the setup. With media installed, repeatedly press FEED to test the cut location:  
 
•  If correct, the printer is ready for use; or,  
 
•  If incorrect, adjust the PRESENT DISTANCE accordingly – increase the setting to 
  move the cut farther out or decrease the setting to move the cut closer.  
 
 
;
 
• 
If Distance (D) is larger than 4 inches (101 mm), the printer will not retract when 
idle and blank labels will be lost. 
 
•  FAULT HANDLING / VOID AND RETRY should not be used; see Section 4.2.4.
