Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0807524A2] The printer includes a printing mechanism for performing printing operations on a recording medium. A cutting mechanism performs cutting operations on a multi-layer tape. The cutting mechanism has first and second cutting blades. The first cutting blade is arranged to cut through all layers of the multi-layer tape. The second cutting blade is arranged to cut through one or more layers of the multi-layer tape, but leaving at least one layer intact and spaced at a location lengthwise of the tape with respect to the first cutting blade. A user interface has data input (306) e.g. keyboard etc device for allowing a user to define an image to be printed and a cutter control component for allowing a user to select a cutting mode. A cutter controller (300) is connected to receive a cutter control signal from the user interface and responsive to the signal to selectively deactivate the first cutting blade in one of the selected cutting modes.
