Printer Configuration
Once the stacker is connected to the printer, the printer will automatically recognize it on turn on.
The printer can be configured to suit the individual requirements of cut mode in the „Setup“ menu. When the stacker
is installed, the „Cutter“ menu will appear.

Parameter
Meaning
Default
Cutter
Configuration of the cutter
> Cut
position
Offset of the cut position relative to the printed image
Cut position with the initial offset value of "0" causes to cut in the
middle of the gap between two labels.
If the cut position value is positive, the media will be advanced before it
is cut, that means the distance between the cut edge and the rear edge
of the label increases.

Note!
The values of the setup are basic settings for the actual combination printer-stacker w/cutter. After changing
the stacker or printer a re-adjustment may be necessary.
Changes required for processing different print jobs should be implemented additional offsets available in
the software.
The offset values from setup and software are added together for execution.
Under Setup
-> Print parameters
the method for recognizing the material and the method of backfeed
when using cut mode can be selected.
Parameter
Meaning
Default
Label
sensor
Method for detecting the starting end of the label.
Gap Sensor
: Detection using changes in the transparency between the
label and label gap.
Bottom-Reflect
: Detection using reflex marks on the bottom of the
medium.
Continuos media:
Synchronization of the paper feed when using
endless media in cutting mode.
After loading media press the
feed
key.
That way a short feed and a synchronization cut are realized.
Gap sensor
Backfeed
Method for backfeeding the material.
Backfeeding is necessary in the cutting mode since the front edge of a
second section already passes the print line when the first label is moved
to the cut position.
always
: Backfeeding occurs independently of print contents.
smart
: Backfeeding only occurs when the print contents of the next
section is not yet fully prepared when cutting the current section.
Otherwise, the second section is pushed on and completed after removal
of the first section without backfeeding.
