Adjusting the Paper Cutter

Based on the location of the printer's paper cutter and the configuration of the Receipt Profile and store's configuration, there are instances when the receipt is not cut/torn in the correct location.

  2. Expand the tree view and select the Receipt Profile to Duplicate.

  7. Enter the Receipt Text to include blank lines at the end.

    Some printers, including the Seiko RP-D10, truncate blank lines from the end of the receipt.  In this case, each of the additional lines should contain a period (.).  This approach will ensure that the printer advances the paper to the necessary location prior to cutting the paper.
