[Model-dependent variations] TM-T88IV, TM-U220
TM-T88IV
The distance from print head to autocutter is about 15 mm {0.59 inch}.
After executing a paper cut, a paper feed for 1 mm {14/360 inches} before starting the next
printing can provide the best printing result without uneven paper feeding.
TM-U220
This printer may make “dot displacement” after autocutting. It is recommended to feed
approximately 2.116 mm or more for printing the next line to prevent “dot displacement after
cutting.”
