8.7.18 Additional Notes on Motion 3 Cutting Operation
1 The product stops to perform a cutting operation during a print job, which causes a white streak* in the
area (approx. 36.2±1.5 mm from the cut position) where the print head pauses.
2 Barcode serial 1/2 (90/270 degree rotation) are not allowed.
3 The print layout with two QR code finder patterns in the above mentioned print head position is not
allowed.
4 The minimum size (width/height) of QR module may not be read correctly; four dots or more is
recommended.
5 The print layout with a 2-D code other than a QR code in the above mentioned print head position is not
allowed.
6 The minimum media length for the Motion 3 with cutter is 55mm (*). The minimum length (40mm) remains
the same for other operations. The longer length is required because Motion 3 with cutter prints (feeds)
media after cutting operation.
(*) The minimum length is calculated by the following formula:
(i) The distance between the thermal head and cutter: 36.2 mm
(ii) Acceleration/deceleration distance (6 ips/61 steps: longest): 10.2 mm
(iii) Offset Correction: 3.75 mm
(iv) Margin: 5 mm
The minimum media length for the Motion 3 with Cutter = (i) + (ii) + (iii) + (iv) = 55.15 mm ≒ 55 mm
