Epson U220B - TM Two-color Dot-matrix Printer Technical Reference Guide

1-8 General Information Rev. D
1.5.1 Autocutter (for Type A / B)
See “Select Autocutter action” (page 3-28) for changing cut type.
Note:
It is recommended to feed approximately 2.116 mm or more in advance before printing to prevent dot
displacement after cutting.
Changing between partial cut and full cut is not controlled by a software command.
The cutting type (partial cut or full cut) must be selected before the printer is first used. If the cutting type
is changed from partial cut to full cut after the printer has been used, the printer may not be reliable
because the wear-out level of the cutter blade differs.
CAUTION:
When the paper is cut completely (full cut) with the printer’s horizontal installation, make
sure to remove the cut paper, then perform the next cut. Never allow several pieces of
the cut paper to remain in the paper exit because double cuts, paper jams, or
autocutter error may occur because the cut paper drops into the paper path.
Cutting method: By separated-blade scissors
Cutting type:
❏ Partial cut (one point left uncut) (default)
❏ Full cut (completely cut off)
