: The recommended trim off from the tail edge of the sheet is between 4mm – 10mm 

(0.160" - 0.3937"). Tail edge trim off that is too long may hang up in the guillotine causing the 
Zip21A to display an error. If this occurs, turn the power "OFF". Remove the top guard and 
remove the tail edge trim off scrap. Assure that the recommended tail trim off dimension is 
established when laying out the sheet prior to printing. 
 
 

: The Zip21A paper handling rollers that convey the stock through the machine are 

designed to handle a specific thickness of paper. If the paper is thicker or thinner, there may be 
a slight difference in the programmable cut off length. If the paper is thicker, the cut off length 
is usually longer. If the paper is thinner, the cut off length is usually shorter. After running the 
first sheet, check the cut off size and make any adjustments required in the program.  
 

: Due to the feed system of the Zip21A, the last card cut can sometimes be slightly 

longer than the others. This is also affected by the thickness of the paper; the thicker the 
paper, the bigger the difference. To overcome this adjust the ‘Last Cut Offset button’ to the 
desired value.
