A-Class 125Cut Behind SetupThe printer can queue then cut a specified number (0 – 2) of small labels, resulting in athroughput increase. To improve throughput when cutting batches of small labels, follow theprocedure below:1) Measure the length (L) of your media, label edge to label edge including gap, if any.2) Determine the distance** (D) from the burn line to cutter blade.**This distance may vary between printers and require slight modification.3) Calculate the Cut Behind number (N) by dividing the distance (D) by the length (L) ofthe media.N = D ÷ L4) Calculate the Present Distance (PD) by subtracting the product of the length (L) and CutBehind number (N) from the distance (D).PD = D – (N x L)5) Enter the calculated Present Distance (PD) as the PRINT CONTROL / PRESENT DISTANCEsetting; see Section 4.2.2.6) Enter the calculated Cut Behind number (N) as the PRINTER OPTIONS / CUTTER setting(see Section 4.2.3) and then exit the menu and save your settings.7) Verify the setup. With media installed, repeatedly press FEED to test the cut location:• If correct, the printer is ready for use; or,• If incorrect, adjust the PRESENT DISTANCE accordingly – increase the setting tomove the cut farther out or decrease the setting to move the cut closer.; • If Distance (D) is larger than 4 inches (101 mm), the printer will not retract whenidle and blank labels will be lost.• FAULT HANDLING / VOID AND RETRY should not be used; see Section 4.2.4.
