Update Printer Firmware to Finish Option Installations
It is recommended that you always update the printer’s firmware with the latest version for
optimal printer operation. This is located on the Zebra Web site at: http://www.zebra.com/support
Cutter Option
The printer supports a factory installed media cutter option for full width cutting of label liner, tag
or receipt media. These cutter options are all supported in a single cutter housing design. The
type of cutter option installed in your printer can be verified by printing a printer configuration
report.
Cutter Details
• A medium duty cutter for cutting label liner and light tag media (LINER/TAG)
• Paper Thickness: 0.08 mm (0.003 inch) min. to 0.1905 mm (0.0075 inch) max.
• Cut Width: 15 mm (0.585 inches) minimum to 118 mm (4.65 inches) maximum
• Minimum distance between cuts (label length): 25.4 mm (1 inch). Cutting shorter
media lengths between the cuts may cause the cutter to jam or error.
• By default, the cutter operations include a self cleaning preventive maintenance cleaning
cut after every twenty-fifth cut. This feature can be disabled via a SGD (Set/Get/DO)
programming command (cutter.clean_cutter) but is not recommended.
Caution • The discharge of electrostatic energy that accumulates on the surface of the
human body or other surfaces can damage or destroy the printhead or electronic
components used in this device. You must observe static-safe procedures when working
with the printhead or the electronic components.
Warning • There are no operator serviceable parts in the cutter unit. Never remove the
cutter cover (bezel). Never attempt to insert objects or fingers in to the cutter mechanism.
Tools, cotton swabs, solvents (including alcohol), etc. all may damage or shorten the
cutter’s usable life or cause the cutter to jam.
