FAQs & Troubleshooting

My label is not cut automatically after printed.

Check if "Cut Option" is set to "Chain", "No Cut", or "Special Tape". The tape is not cut after each label is printed or only cut after the last label is printed depending on the tape cutting option setting.

 

Please refer to the following methods of cutting after each label is printed, and cutting after the last label is printed.

> Method 1. Automatically cut after each label is printed.

> Method 2. Cut after the last label is printed.

 

 

Method 1. The tape can be cut automatically after each label is printed by changing the "Cut Option" setting.

If you are using Fabric Iron-on Tapes or Extra Strength Adhesive tapes, select the "Special Tape" setting to protect the cutter blade. After printing, remove the tape cassette from the machine and use scissors to cut the tape.

  1. Press the Label key to display the Label menu.
     
  2. Select "Cut Option" using up arrow key or down arrow key key, and then set the option to "Large Margin" or "Small Margin".
     
  3. Press the OK or Enter key to apply the settings.

 

Method 2. Cut the last label which is not fed and cut automatically.

 

If you printed on Fabric Iron-on Tapes or Extra Strength Adhesive tapes, feed the tape to create an enough margin, then remove the tape cassette from the machine and cut the tape using scissors. Please refer to the steps below.

  1. When the last label is printed, hold down the Shift key and press the Preview or Preview/Feed ( Feed ) key to display the "Feed & Cut" menu.
     
  2. Select "Feed & Cut" if you have the printer cut the label, or select "Feed Only" if you cut the tape manually.
