Feed and cut the paper
To feed and cut the paper when the automatic cutter has been disabled, press the Form feed and cut
key
on the front panel. The paper advances and the printer makes a straight cut on the front edge.
TIP: If the printer is waiting to nest more pages, you can cancel the waiting time and print the available
pages immediately by pressing the Form feed and cut key
.
NOTE: The printer may not cut the paper directly after pressing the Form feed and cut key , as
each time a print is printed the printheads are serviced and the paper cannot be cut until the process
completes.
Remove the cut piece from the output tray.
CAUTION: 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 scuffed or scratched
on page 158.
