Setting Partial Cut Distance
This function changes the length of the partial knife cut: the higher the number, the longer
the cut.
Caution:
The DIP switches are pre-set at the factory and should generally not be changed.
If you must change them, do so carefully to avoid changing other functions. Run the print
test to print the settings for this function. See “Print Test” in this chapter.
Note:
The operator panel may differ depending on the model. To put the printer on- or
off-line, use a paper clip or other pointed object to depress the plunger (in place of the On
Line button) on models with that item.
1. Open the front cover and set the DIP switches to match the value you want for the
length of the cut.
Switch 7 is always Off. Switch 8: On = knife, Off = non-knife
