<Handling of label papers having the label pitch of less than 22 mm in cut issue mode>
The minimum label pitch in normal cut issue mode is 22.0 mm. When a label paper having the label pitch
of less than 22.0 mm is used (although it is out of specification), an edge of a label is caught by an edge of
the thermal head during a back feed to the home position after the paper is cut in a gap area between labels.
This may prevents the label from being fed back to the proper home position. In such case, perform the
method below to solve the problem.
Workaround by adjusting the cut position fine adjustment value
When this method is used, one or more printed labels are left between the head and the cutter, which
should be removed by an issue or a label feed.
Calculation of cut position fine adjustment value
The cut position fine adjustment value is calculated using the following formula. If the paper still is
not fed back to the proper home position using the value obtained, the cut position should be adjusted
using any other value.
Cut position fine adjustment value = (Number of labels left between head and cutter) X (Label pitch)
=
x (Label pitch)
(For example) Label pitch: 20.0 mm
Cut position fine adjustment value = x (20.0 mm)
= 1 x 20.0 mm
= +22.0 mm
Operation example
Issue count: 2, Cut interval = 1
* Any decimal remainders are dropped.
