LX500ec model, featuring a built-in guillotine cutter

The built-in cutter allows you to cut die-cut, reflective and continuous label stock and offers several cut options. You can choose between the cut modes:

  • do not cut – for usage with a rewinder,
  • cut after no activity – for cutting when the print job is finished,
  • cut after button press – for cutting when you choose to press the button,
  • cut after every label – or producing e.g. single price tags or ID cards,
  • cut after x labels – which gives you the opportunity to choose the number of labels that needs to stay in one row before cutting.

* This is the recommended maximum. There are two factors that determine whether the printer will accept any particular stock thickness. The ability for the printer to pull the paper through the printer area. The ability for the sensor to read through the backing if the sensor is set to die-cut. ** The Reflective/Black Mark should be opaque to infrared light. The mark should be between the labels. The end of the mark should correspond with the beginning of the label. Further information is available in the user manual.
