When using continuous tapes in an IP printer with a cutter, the printer will feed and cut a 1.5" long blank label at the end of each print job. This is the printer's way of readying itself for the next job.
Continuous tapes do not have gaps or notches for the printer's sensors to read, so the printer calibrates itself by feeding a set length of tape. This set length of tape is 1.5 inches.
*Note: When setting the print mode to "Tear off" or "None" the cutter will not activate, but the printer will still feed the extra 1.5 inches of label at the end of the job. |
