Cutting Paper Manually with the Built-in Cutter
When you’re not using the Auto Cut setting, you need to cut the paper
manually after your print job is finished. If you’re printing on canvas, vinyl,
or other heavy media, you should use scissors or the optional media cutter
rather than the built-in cutter. Heavy media can damage the built-in cutter.
Follow these steps to cut manually with the built-in cutter:
1. If the paper is not positioned correctly, press one of the
Paper Feed
buttons to adjust the paper position. Normally, you don’t need to do
this after a print job is finished.
2. Press the
Paper Source
button until the
Roll Auto Cut
light comes on.
3. Press the
Cut/Eject
button. The paper is cut.
Printing Trim Lines
You can print trim lines on the right edge of your pages (if you’re using Auto
Cut) or on the right and bottom edge (if you’re not using Auto Cut). Follow
these steps:
1. Press the
SelecType
button.
PRINTER SETUP
appears on the display.
2. Press the
r
button so that
PLATEN GAP
appears.
3. Press the
d
button so that
PAGE LINE
appears.
4. Press the
r
button.
*OFF
is displayed as the current setting.
5. Press the
d
button so that
ON
appears.
6. Press the
Enter
button to save this as the new setting. (An asterisk
appears next to
*ON.)
7. Press the
Pause
button to exit the menu.
You can also specify trim lines from your printer driver software. See
page 3-3 (Macintosh) or page 4-7 (Windows) for more information.
Note
An optional media cutter
is available for cutting
thick media. See page 2
for details on ordering it.
