The printer will be configured to continuous material during the first print task.
• Select the appropriate setting in the marking software for printing with the cutting or
perforation function.

Cleaning the cutter

During operation, dust particles accumulate, especially in the area of the blades. Remove
these particles regularly with a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner.
Special maintenance work is necessary when you cut directly into the label material and not
into the gap between labels. In such a case, adhesive residue accumulates on the blades.
When working with backfeed in cutting mode, adhesive particles also accumulate on the
pressure roller. For this reason, the pressure roller and the blades of the cutter should be
cleaned at regular intervals (refer to "Cleaning the pressure roller" on page 4-2).
WARNUNG: Risk of injury
The blades of the cutter are sharp.

Figure 5-2 Cleaning the cutter
• Disconnect the THERMOMARK X1.2 from the mains.
• Loosen screw (1) and remove the cutter from the printer.
• You can use a Philips screwdriver (with a blade width of 7 mm) to turn the axle (3) and
clean the circular blade.
• The circular blade's angle of rotation is restricted to 120° by the screw (2).
If there is a high level of soiling, loosen the screw (2) so that it protrudes by
approximately 5 mm in order to be able to turn the cutter without restriction.
• Remove any deposits on the blades with the help of isopropyl alcohol and a soft cloth.
WARNUNG: If you have loosened the screw (2), the circular blade must be re-adjusted
after cleaning as described in section 5.2.1 on page 5-3.
