•Attaching the Cutter
The enclosed cutter is used to tear off the batch-issued labels. Attach the cutter with the two SMW-3x6
screws as shown in the picture below. Insert the leading edge of the labels into the opening under the
cutter.
NOTE: Depending on the backing paper types, tearing off the backing paper against the slot of the strip module
cover may cause it to wind onto the inner rollers. It is advisable to tear off or cut the backing paper
outside the strip module cover.
•How to use the Guide Roller
When issuing the label with the length of 50 mm or more, fit the guide roller to the center of the strip module
cover to prevent the stripped label from sticking to the cover.
