Auto-Cut Delay
Auto-Cut Delay allows you to set a delay time before the printer automatically performs the auto-cut function.
This provides additional time for unattended prints to dry. In addition, you may want to delay auto-cut depending
on the media you are using, the ambient temperature and the humidity. Auto-Cut Delay values range from 0 to 55
seconds in five second intervals and 1 to 60 minutes in one minute intervals. When the delay time has expired, the
printer cuts the image and begins printing the next image in the buffer. Auto-Cut Delay is ignored when Auto-Cut
is set to
Off
.
