How to implement Print & Cut Devices

Problem/Question

For Print and Cut devices, usually up to 3 different Cut drivers (Cut after, Using Marks and Cut only) can be selected.

"Where can I find the individual Cut drivers and how to add them?"


Solution/Work-Around
Select the Print Environment based on the Print & Cut device and open the Cut Environment Manager.


  1. Cut After (directly cut the job after being printed without user interaction)
    1. Enable <Print and Cut with one device>
    2. <Add> a new Cut Environment
    3. Doubleclick on the <Share PrintQueue> button
    4. Select the "cut after" driver

 

  1. Using Marks (print the job - re-insert the media to cut it somewhen later)
    1. Enable <Print and Cut with one device>
    2. <Add> a new Cut Environment
    3. Doubleclick on the <Add Queue> button
    4. Select the "using marks" driver

 

  1. Cut Only (no print - just contour cut)
    1. Disable <Print and Cut with one device>
    2. <Add> a new Cut Environment
    3. Doubleclick on the <Add Queue> button
    4. Select the "cut only" driver

Function notes:

  1. Cut After: After printing, the media is transported back to the zero point and then Cut without using marks.
  2. Using Marks: Images are printed with marks. The medium can be removed from the printer, e.g. for lamination, and then reinserted. The Contour Cut is then executed using the marks.
  3. Cut Only: A cutting job can be processed (without printing).
