5. adjust the output pressure using the knob

6. retrieve the first strip

7. The following are automatically distributed

Semi-automatic mode

This method allows the ribbon to be distributed on demand.

3. Repeat the process with each new cut

Manual mode

Manual mode offers complete freedom in unwinding.

1. Hold down the arrow key to extend the ribbon to the desired length.

2. release

3. Press the cut button to cut

Setting up and loading the reel
