Accurately Adjusting the Cutting-in Amount
When you want to perform accurate and fine adjustment of the cutting-in amount ( ), such as when cut-
ting media with thin backing paper, you can obtain good results by adjusting the tip of the blade. Turn the
cap portion of the blade holder to adjust the amount of blade extension. Each indicator tick corresponds
to 0.1 millimeters, and adjustment for 0.5 millimeters can be made by rotating the cap one full turn.
Note that making the amount of blade extension too small may cause the tip of the blade holder cap to
touch, and may soil and damage the printed surface. It's important to be especially careful about this
when you're using media that has poor ink adhesion properties.
The amount of blade extension ( ) is 0 mm ( ) at minimum and 2.5 mm (98.4 mil) ( ) at maximum.
Rough Estimate for the Amount of Blade Extension
Set the amount of blade extension ( ) to an amount that is the sum of the thickness of the material por-
tion ( ) and half ( ) the thickness of the backing paper ( ).
