The TM-U210 always uses the partial cut method. The partial cut method is one point left uncut at the center position, so the method is different from that of the TM-U220 in respect to the uncut position. The TM-U220 leaves the right position uncut in the partial cut. Rev. H Notices for Replacement of the TM-U210/TM-U300 6-3
