This article will show you how to enable the 2-inch cut option on your printer to print two 2x6 strips. 

You can enable the 2-inch cut option for your printer, as is, but you can also create a virtual copy of your printer and enable the 2-inch cut to it. The latter will allow you to have two separate printer settings while using the same printer.

1. First, make sure that your printer is installed and prints from the control panel. The steps below use a DNP DS-RX1 as the example.
Go to the Control Panel > Devices and Printers.

2. Right-click on the printer icon and select Printer Preferences.

3. Select "Advanced" and enable the 2inch cut in the Strips printer:
