Performing Cutting (Cutting Only)

The method for cutting only without printing is as follows.

Use this output method when both print data and cutting lines are present but only cutting is desired, or when there is no print data and only cutting is possible. Refer to "Printing and Cutting" if you want to cut after printing, or "Cutting after Removing the Printed Media" if you want to cut after removing the printed media and applying lamination or other processing.

Procedure
  1. Correctly load the media or object in the machine, and then set the appropriate cutting conditions for the target media or object.

    For details on how to load media or the various adjustments made before printing, refer to the documentation for the machine you are using.

  2. Click tb_standard_send-to-device.

    The Send to Device dialog box appears.

  3. Select the machine where the data will be sent.

    If the machine you are using is not displayed, it has not been set in VersaWorks.

    For details on how to set the machine to output to, see the "VersaWorks Installation Guide."
