CU4/CU6 Cutter Accessory
Cutter
The Cutter is an optional peripheral device. With the cutter unit installed, labels or
continuous material may be cut when desired.
Cutter options include a choice of: cut after each label, cut after a specific quantity of
labels, or cut at the end of a print job. The cutters are powered and controlled directly
by the peripheral port of the printer.
For cutter operation, the printer firmware will extend the label for cutting based on
specified displacements, then automatically backfeed the label, so that after making a
cut, the label roll will be repositioned and ready for printing the next label.
An optional Cutter Tray is available.
Perf/Cutter
The Perf/Cutter is mainly designed for perforating textile materials, for other or thick
materials tests are recommended.
The Perf/Cutter is, in comparison to the Cutter, equipped with another linear blade
and other electronics.
The perforation distance and the border width of the Perf/Cutter linear blade are
custom-designed.
With the Cutter linear blade installed the Perf/Cutter can be used similar to the Cutter.
Note: Because of the different electronics, the Cutter can not be used as Perf/Cutter.
