To Perform Printing and Cutting Separately
When you remove printed media and then reload it and perform cutting, you carry out alignment to
prevent misalignment of the printing results and the cut lines. You do this at times such as when, for
example, you perform lamination or other processing after printing, then reload the media and perform
cutting. At such times, you perform printing with crop marks. You can perform automatic alignment
with detection of the printed crop marks when you perform cutting.
Printing with Crop Marks
Use your software RIP to make the settings for printing crop marks. For information on how to make the
setting, refer to the documentation for the software RIP you're using. Alignment marks and symbols
drawn using a graphics program cannot be used as crop marks.
The crop marks are printed as shown in the gure.
Media Sizes Allowing Automatic Crop Mark Detection
When you are printing with crop marks, set a margin of at least 90 mm (3.5 in.) before the next print-
start position.You can set the margin value with the software RIP you're using. For information on how
to make the setting, refer to the documentation for the software RIP you're using.
