Introduction to the Cutter
3
This manual explains how to install and clean the cutter on your 3400, 4420, or 4440
printer. It also explains how to enable the cutter using PrintSet.
Introduction to the Cutter
With the cutter on your 3400, 4420, or 4440 printer, you can cut media into
individual labels of the same or random lengths that are ready for use. The
cutter blade is capable of cutting a wide range of die cut roll, continuous roll, or
fanfold media; however, the cutter performs best with 7- to 10-mil thickness tag
stock.
The cutter is mounted externally on the printer and cannot be used in
conjunction with the self-strip/batch takeup option.
Note: If you use the cutter on adhesive backed materials, cut the liner between the
labels. Cutting through adhesive is not recommended. You will need to clean the cutter
every 10,000 cuts or when it fails to cut cleanly if you cut through adhesive backed
material.

Cleaning the Cutter
9
Cleaning the Cutter
It is important that you routinely clean the cutter to keep it in excellent working
condition. If you are cutting through adhesive-backed media, you should clean
the cutter after every 10,000 cuts. To see the number of cuts made, print out a
hardware configuration test label as described in your printer user’s manual.
The information following “Labels Cut” indicates how many labels have been
cut since the cutter was installed. Use this number to determine when to clean
the cutter.
If you are not using adhesive-backed media, you should clean the cutter when
it no longer cuts precisely.
Warning
Use extreme caution when cleaning the cutter to avoid cutting yourself.
Avertissement

2. Unplug the printer power supply cord and the cutter cable.
3. Turn the head lift lever clockwise and back the media out of the cutter.
