4-step cut (200cps), when paper is longer Initial cut with Auto cut ON after print with Auto cut OFF. than L2. 4-step cut (50cps) after feeding L2, when paper is shorter than L2. Cut with Paper width detection OFF 3-step cut always (100cps fixed)
Do not use the auto cutting function with any paper for which auto cutting is prohibited; otherwise, the head would be damaged.
Note : Cutting pressure at high speed can be changed. Cutting pressure at low speed is "Duty: 45%" fixed. Paper edge waiting position is fed L2 for initial cut.
AUTOMATIC CUTTING OF ROLL MEDIA Automatic cutting under the following conditions can only be performed on the approved media. Mechanical conditions Distance between cut position and paper setting position: Distance between cut position and cutter mark: Minimum cut length (same as paper edge waiting position): L0=167mm L1= 44mm L2=030mm
MANUAL CUTTING OF ROLL PAPER Manual cutting is performed by the following procedure. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Select "Roll Cutter Off" on the panel. Press "Cut/ Eject" button. Paper is automatically fed toward the cutter guide, and printer becomes Off-line. "Pause" is indicated on the LCD panel. Adjust cutting position with "Paper Feed +/-" button if necessary. Slide the cutter along the cutter guide to cut the paper. After cutting, release the printer from the pause status by pressing the "Pause" button. Then paper is fed backward and printer enters on-line.

1.2.9.4 Surrounding Space
Provide the printer with an enough surrounding space to ensure proper installation of accessories and replacement of consumables and easy work for daily maintenance. From the front of the printer: 60 cm or more From the rear and both sides of the printer: 15 cm or more
Stylus Pro 7600 (without stand)
15 cm or more
15 cm or more 60~80 cm or more
When Stylus Pro 7600 is not equipped with the dedicated stand: Stylus Pro 7600 ejects paper downward. To prevent the ejected paper from being obstructed, install the printer on a table or desk 60 to 80 cm high above the floor and provide the printer with a 60 cm or more space in front. In doing so, locate the front rubber feet of the printer close to the front end of th
