click
to open it.
When the "Auto Cut" option is checked in the Print dialog box
for the QL-550, the printed labels are automatically cut after
printing.
When using the QL-500, make sure that printing is
completed before cutting the label with the CUT lever.
Attempting to cut the label before printing is completed will
result in an error. If an error occurs, turn the power off and
then on again to clear the error.
