Feed and cut the paper
If you press the Form feed and cut key on the front panel, 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 immediagely, if the printer is waiting to
nest more pages (T1200 series only).
NOTE: The printheads are serviced after each print, and the paper cannot be cut until the process
completes, so you may notice a delay.
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 scuffed or scratched
on page 162.
TIP: To move the paper without cutting it, see Move the paperon page 45.
