3.6 Requirements for Die-Cut Label Size
When manufacturing die-cut label paper (with or without black marks), be sure that the paper
meets the following requirements. (The ESC/POS commands expands the settable range,
omitting the margin settings or the limitation on use (NOTE 2 of Section 3.6).)

Label Size Requirement
NOTES: 1. Be sure to set the cutting position (L
4
) between labels.
2. Since the position of the print head and the cutter is not contiguous, the printer
operates as follows when the paper is cut:
1 Completes printing
2 Feeds the paper to the cutting position
3 Cuts the paper
4 Feeds the next label in reverse to the print starting position
Depending on the paper setting or the paper size, the tip of the next label may be
fed over the print head in action 2 above, or the paper may be fed incorrectly or
jammed by catching the tip of the next label with the print head in 4.
To avoid this, be sure that the distance from the cutting position to the print
starting position (=L
3
–L
4
) is 3.6 mm {0.14"} or more. And the minimum label
length must be 25.4 mm {1"}.
If (L
3
–L
4
) is less than 3.6 mm or the label length is less than 25.4 mm, the paper
may be fed wastefully because action 4 is not performed.
