4) Supporting character on each model type: See Table 1.2.2.

1.3 Autocutter

1) Cutting method:

Scissors type with separated blades

2) Cutting type:

Partial cut (cutting with one point in left edge left uncut)

NOTES: 1. To prevent dot displacement, after cutting, feed paper approximately 1 mm {14/360"} or

more before printing.

2. Paper must be fed over 40 mm {1.57"} before cutting if the printer is stopped. This

prevents a possible paper jam.
