The printer does not cut on each record (2 Viewers)

[Mario R. Perez]

I have a Thermal printer "STAR TPS100III" I'm sending a page of labels and I want it to make a cut for each record. (PIC1) It prints correctly but doesn't make the cut. Does anyone have experience? (PIC2 it would be ideal) I've tried Report/Detail, format/new row or col = "Before & After." The printer is installed and configured correctly. Thanks in advance.

you should add Grouping on your report. Group it by the first number (ex: 8250004).
then New Page after the Group.

I’m trying to understand what you mean by “make the cut”. Does your printer have some type of blade or are you talking about spacing or grouping in your label report?

We have a Zebra ZT-410 and we had to add a custom paper size to the print server, and then select that paper size, but I forget where, maybe in the printer driver, maybe in the Page Setup dialog for the printer. Also, if your 4-page screenshot is a print preview, obviously the paper size is wrong.

Mine is in Page Setup on the actu8al printer.

Yes. It's a printer for dry cleaners that makes horizontal cuts of the tags. Pls see pic

Hi arneglp, I already grouped it by order number (fldorder), but I'm confused about "then New Page after the Group.", Fldorder header and Detail have similar properties "force New page", which one should I apply "new page after" to? please see pics. thanks

To force a new page after the group you'll need to add a group footer section, which can be of zero height, and set the Force New Page property of the footer to 'after section'.

 

[arnelgp]

click "FldOrder header" Group (band) and on it's Property->Format->Force New Page: Before Section

So the paper isn’t perforated or scored since the printer has a “scissors” or blade that should make cuts after every label/record. Sounds like you need only set the paper size to the proper dimensions and match this with the detail section size.

Hi Mario,
we use a Custom Kube with thermal paper, and for full cut/partial cut paper, on properties of printer driver, we have CUT MODE
