In Windows, the printer driver controls when the paper is cut and ejected. Settings in the driver 
take over form the default parameter settings in the printer. 

The settings are available in the Windows Printing Preferences Menu, in the Advanced 
Options window. The names of the options box differ between driver versions, but the same 
settings are available:

You set n35 to 1 by setting  Black Mark Check: True

You set n37, n38 by 
setting

Paper Size. If no standard paper size is corresponds to the page 
length you have, create a new form with that length in the 
Windows "Printer Server Properties". 

You set n39 by setting

Maximum Black mark: to the length of the black mark on your 
paper

You set n40 by setting

Minimum Blackmark: to the value you want for scrap filter

You set n41, n42 by 
setting

Cut Position: to the length of transport that you want between 
black mark and cut. 

When everything is set up correctly and the printer prints as it should; print a page, 

then without switching the power off, send the store parameters command ESC & 04h to the 
printer (for example using the PRTMON.EXE program from 

http://www.zebra.com

.  If you 

do this, parameters that the driver uses are stored in the printer as default parameters. This 
way the printer synchronizes on black mark also when you load paper, if you press the FF 
button, etc.
