Description
The movement distance for the media changes subtly depending on the media's thickness. This means that the length of a 
line when cut may differ from the length setting in the data. You enter a correction value when you want to align the lengths 
of cut lines precisely. 
When performing printing followed immediately by cutting, be sure to set this to "0.00."

Rough Estimate for the Amount of Blade Extension
Use the following dimension as a rough estimate for setting the amount of blade extension.
Note that making the amount of blade extension too small may cause the end of the cap for the blade 
holder to touch and damage the printed surface. It's important to be especially careful about this when 
you're using media that has poor ink-adhesion properties.
