Increasing Small Label Throughput CUT BEHIND is a menu setting that allows the printer to queue then cut a specified number (0 – 2) of small labels, where the elimination of repeated positioning operations can result in a throughput increase. To achieve faster throughputs when cutting batches of small labels, follow the procedure below to establish the queue amount and setup the printer: a) Measure the length (L) of your media, label edge to label edge including gap, if any.
