Cutting the Tape

To cut the tape

Squeeze the embossing handle half-way,
several times until the tape extends from
the front of the cutting assembly (M) by at
least 1" (2.5cm).

Note: Before cutting the tape, make

sure the end of the tape extends
beyond the edge of the cutting
assembly so you can easily pull the

label out. Otherwise, a tape jam may
occur.

Lift the cutting handle (I) gently until it is
vertical to cut the tape.
