Accurately Adjusting the Cutting-in Amount
When you want to perform accurate and fine adjustment of the cutting-in amount, such as when cutting media
with thin backing paper, you can obtain good results by adjusting the tip of the blade. Turn the cap portion of
the blade holder to adjust the amount of blade extension. Each indicator tick corresponds to 0.1 millimeters,
and adjustment for 0.5 millimeters can be made by rotating the cap one full turn.
Note that making the amount of blade extension too small may cause the tip of the blade holder cap to touch,
and may soil and damage the printed surface. It's important to be especially careful about this when you're
using media that has poor ink adhesion properties.
