Synchronizing Cutter Settings with Printer

NiceLabel 10 synchronizes Cutter settings with the currently selected printer and vice versa. After you enable cutter in Desktop Designer, this also enables cutter in Printer Settings.

Tip

Printer Settings is the printer driver dialog that helps you configure detailed printing properties.Printer Settings is accessible from printing form or printer and status bar.

Cutter mode selection in Printer Settings depends on how you configure Cutter settings in Desktop Designer:

  • Cut after the last printed label activates the cutter in normal mode.

  • Cut after a specific number of labels activates the cutter in normal mode in two cases:

    • The horizontal and Vertical count of labels under Labels Across remains 1.

    • If the web of labels creates no leftover blank labels on the paper.

  • Cut after a specific number of labels activates the cutter in advanced mode in these two cases:

    • You print a web of labels and there are leftover blank labels on the paper.

      Example 146. Example

      We configure a web of labels in Desktop Designer Cutter settings as shown in the picture below:

      UUID-1b08c4c0-bf2d-d0f7-62a4-4c5ee357ca79.png

      A single web of labels (labels across) contains 4 printed labels. If you set the cutter to activate after 4, 8, 12, ... printed labels, there are no leftover blank labels. Every 4, 8, 12, ... labels translate to every 1, 2, 3, ... printed pages in Printer Settings. As a result, the cutter runs in normal mode.

      If you set the cutter to activate after 1, 2, 3, 5, ... (not a multiplier of number 4) printed labels, cutter runs in advanced mode.


    • You set a condition that activates the cutter under Cut if the condition is met option.
