You may notice unevenly cut tags on one end or the other of your supply
(one end may appear longer than the other). Use the knife control
adjustment to balance the cut tag length from tag-to-tag.
You may need to make this adjustment
♦ on initial printer setup.
♦ if you load a different supply type (thickness) from the last ones printed.
♦ when you change the print speed.
♦ when you change to a different tag size from the last ones printed.
To change the setting, from the Main Menu, select Setup, then Supply.
Then, follow these steps.
1. Press  or  until you see
SUPPLY
 Knife Ctrl
2. Press Enter/Pause. The current setting is displayed, for example:
Enter knife ctrl
[-20/20]: +0
3. Press  or  to change the knife control. You may need to experiment
and cut a few test tags to check the tag cut length. Pressing 
decreases the value;  increases it.
Note: Depending on how unevenly the tags are cut, always start with a
small number, such as +- 1 or 2.
4. Press Enter/Pause when the number you need appears.
Press Escape/Clear until you see the Main Menu.
