← Back

Used for Trouble: T-000037

1) Verify auto-cutter configuration

  • Access printer menu or configuration utility
  • Confirm auto-cut is enabled
  • Disable any delayed or batch cutting options

2) Check application cut command behavior

  • Verify POS / CSC is configured to cut after each ticket
  • Disable cut-on-next-job or batch modes if present
  • Save and reapply ticket settings

3) Inspect printer driver settings

  • Open Printing Preferences
  • Confirm cut command is not suppressed or delayed
  • Reset driver settings to default if unsure

4) Test cutter responsiveness

  • Run printer self-test or diagnostic mode
  • Observe cut timing consistency
  • Check for sluggish or inconsistent cutter movement

5) Inspect cutter mechanism

  • Power off printer
  • Open cutter area and remove debris
  • Ensure cutter moves freely without resistance

6) Check firmware behavior

  • Review printer firmware version
  • Update firmware if vendor notes cutter timing fixes
  • Reboot printer after update

7) Test controlled prints

  • Print single-ticket jobs repeatedly
  • Confirm cut occurs immediately at end of each ticket

8) Escalation check

  • If cut timing remains inconsistent:
  • Capture sample output
  • Record printer model, firmware, and driver versions
  • Escalate to hardware or application support
