3.1 What is Printing & Cutting?
Stickers, etc. can be created by placing a cutting line in the media along with the cutting of printed data.
In order to realize this printing & cutting function, this device has been equipped with two functions. Use each
function according to the environment of use.

Simple Printing & Cutting
With this function, the edge of the media is scanned and cutting lines are made upon predicting the cutting
positions of the printed data based on the position of this scanned edge. This method is useful when working
with media on which registration marks cannot be printed.
However, as the edge of the media needs to be scanned, there are conditions such as the media having to be
a standardized size and the cutting line being affected by the positioning precision of the printer used.

Registration Mark Scanned Printing & Cutting
The data is printed on the media with registration marks (reference lines) added. These registration marks are
scanned with the sensor and cutting lines are made upon predicting the cutting positions of the printed data
based on the positions of these scanned registration marks.
Because this method is affected by the base, etc. of the media, media on which registration marks are difcult
to scan cannot be used.
