NOTE: If the cutter is turned off, it will not cut the paper between jobs, but it will continue to cut the paper
on loading, unloading and switching between rolls.
NOTE: The printer knows that some paper types, such as canvas, cannot be cut by the automatic cutter;
and it will not try to cut them even if the cutter is turned on.
TIP: To cut roll paper while the automatic cutter is disabled, see Feed and cut the paper on page 47.
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 scuffed or scratched
on page 133.
TIP: To move the paper without cutting it, see Move the paper on page 46.
