Feed and cut the paper
If you go to the front panel and press , then , then Paper > Form feed and cut, the printer advances the
paper and makes a straight cut across the front edge. There are several possible reasons why you might want to
do this.

To trim the leading edge of the paper if it is damaged or not straight.
●
To feed and cut the paper when the automatic cutter has been disabled.
●
To cancel the waiting time and print the available pages immediately, if the printer is waiting to nest more
pages.
NOTE: The printheads are serviced after each print, and the paper cannot be cut until the process completes, so
you may notice a delay.
NOTE: Some paper types cannot be cut by the automatic cutter. In this case, the printer advances the paper
without trying to cut it.
CAUTION: Remove the cut piece from the output tray. If strips or short prints are left in the output tray the
printer could jam.
NOTE: Photo and coated paper requires careful handling, see The print is scued or scratched on page 136.
TIP: To move the paper without cutting it, see Move the paper on page 45.
