Cut Labels

You can easily configure your cutter-enabled label printer to automatically cut at the end of the set of labels. So, if there are a set of three kids checking in, it will automatically cut once after all labels for each child have been printed. As you’ll see later, you can take this to the next level and control cutting to a great extent.

Tip

Printers with Cutters
If you’re in the market for a label printer with a cutter, see the Printers chapter below for some models we recommend.  

Enabling automatic cutting is easy. All you have to do is let Rock know that your printer has a cutter. There are different ways to configure this depending on what you use for check-in. Automatic cutting works with the latest versions of the iPad and Windows Client apps and can also be used with server-side printing.

If you’re using the Windows app, simply enable the Printer Has Cutter option in the app settings.

For the iPad application, you’ll need Enable Label Cutting turned on. To do this, go to Settings on your iPad and access the Rock Check-in application settings.

If you’re set up for server-side printing, you’ll use the Has Cutter option in the Check-in Device configuration. In Rock, navigate to Admin Tools > Check-in > Devices and select your label printing Device.

Note

One Cut Per Person, Not Per Label
Want one clean cut after each person’s labels? Just switch both settings to On:
Has Cutter — tells Rock your printer has a cutter (Admin Tools > Check-in > Devices then choose your printer).
Enable Label Cutting — tells the Check-in app to bundle each person’s labels into one print job.
If Has Cutter is Off, nothing cuts. If Enable Label Cutting is Off, the printer snips after every label. Flip them both On for a smooth cut between each person's label, even if there are many labels per person.
