“Checking and Setting the Paper Type” on
Cutting the roll paper
The printer is equipped with a built-in cutter. You can
cut roll paper after printing by using one of the following
methods.
❏
Auto Cut:
The cutter cuts automatically at a determined
position each time a page is printed in accordance
with the setting of the printer driver or control
panel menu.
❏
Manual cut:
The cutting position is specified on the control
panel, and then the roll paper is cut. A cutline is
printed for manual cutting and can be used as a
guide when cutting paper using the built-in cutter.
c
Important:
The commercially available media types, such as
those shown below, may not be cut cleanly by the
built-in cutter. Furthermore, cutting the following
media types may damage or reduce the lifetime of
the built-in cutter.
❏
Fine art paper
❏
Canvas
❏
Vinyl
❏
Matte poster board
❏
Adhesive paper
❏
Banner media
Cut these media types with commercially available
scissors or a cutter in the following manner:
With the front cover closed, hold down the
d
button
on the control panel while viewing the inside of the
printer until the cutting position emerges from
below the front cover. Cut the paper using scissors or
a third-party cutter.
Setting Auto Cut
You can specify the method either on the control panel
or the printer driver. Note, however, that the setting
selected with the printer driver takes priority when the
printer driver is used.
Note:
❏
Disable the auto cut settings in the printer and the
printer driver when using the optional auto take-up
reel unit.

It may take a while to cut the roll paper.
