How to: Automatically Cut Photo Strips (2x6)

With a supported printer, you can use standard 4x6 media to automatically create two 2x6 photo strips by cutting the paper in half.

Prerequisites

• A printer that supports 2x6 cutting.
• A 2x6 template added to your event.
• Printing enabled in your event settings.

Configuration Steps

1. Select the Correct Print Queue Add the appropriate print media queue for your printer. Look for a format indicating a split or cut (e.g., 2-2x6   , 2x6-2   , or similar), as this varies by printer driver.

   

   Access Queue Settings Tap the Settings cog located beside this new media queue.

   

   Toggle the switch for Print doubled on short side to Enabled. This tells the software to place two strips on one 4x6 sheet and cut it.

   

   Route the Templates

   • In the Cutting Queue: Ensure only your 2x6 template is selected (highlighted). Tap any other templates to deselect them so they do not print here.
   • In Standard Queues: Open the settings for your standard media queues (e.g., regular 4x6) and tap the 2x6 template to deselect it. This prevents the strip from printing on a full sheet without being cut.
