    • Cut Passes

      Use this option to specify the number of cut passes when cutting thick media or hard media. Depending on the media, cutting multiple times with lower blade force may give more aesthetically pleasing results than cutting once with higher blade force.

    • Cutting Conditions Settings

      The settings can be configured for Cutting Speed and other printer cutting conditions. To set cutting conditions, refer to Cutting Conditions Settings in the VersaWorks 7 Master Guide.

    • Execute PREFEED Operation

    • If you do not want to specify the print count, see Printing Only Once at All Times in the VersaWorks 7 Master Guide.
    • If you want to place multiple sets of data to print in order to ensure that no media is wasted, set the Print Count to 1, and then set Copy according to the information in Setting the Number of Copies to Print in the VersaWorks 7 Master Guide.
  7. Click Print.
    Cutting starts along the cutting lines of the selected job. This operation is repeated for the number of times specified with Print Count.
