Chapter 5 Media Load
Cut-Off
The EasyCoder 501 E printers can print on labels, tickets, tags, and
continuous stock in various forms. This section describes the case
when the media is to be cut off by an optional automatic cutter.
Cut-off can be used for:
• Non-adhesive continuous stock
• Self-adhesive continuous stock with liner
• Self-adhesive labels with liner (cut only liner between labels)
The cutter is designed to cut through paper-based media with a
thickness of max 175 µm, whick roughly corresponds to a paper
weight of 175 grams/m
2
(basis weight 120 lb). The cutter should not
be used to cut through labels, because the adhesive will stick to the
shears, which can damage the cutter.
The cutter is held by a snap-lock and can be tilted forward to
facilitate media load.
Switch off the power using the On/Off switch
on the printer’s rear plate.

Warning!
The cutting edge will rotate when
the power is switched on and
when the printer is rebooted.
Always switch off the power
before opening the cutter unit.
