Specifying the Cutting Method for Rolls

How rolls are cut after ejection varies depending on printer settings.
• Automatic cut •
The roll is automatically cut by the cutter blade.
◦ Printer Setting ◦
Cutting mode > Automatic cut
• • Eject cut (when the paper surface is being scratched / to wait for ink to dry)
Select this to move the cutter by operation panel operation and cut paper. With Automatic cut, the
paper drops and may rub against the basket, resulting in damage to the print surface, but you can cut
using this method and supporting the paper so that it does not drop to avoid damage to the paper. Also,
you can prevent paper that has not dried from dropping by visually checking the ink has dried, and then
cutting the paper.
After printing is finished, select Cut paper to cut the roll.
◦ ◦ Printer Setting
Cutting mode > Eject cut
• • Set cut length (feeds and cuts paper rolls by a specified length)
The roll paper is fed by the amount specified from the operational panel. The roll paper is always cut
after being fed.
Use this function when you want to cut the leading edge of the paper after the roll paper is loaded.
Note
• • For some paper types, the default Cutting mode may be set to something other Automatic cut. For
this paper, we recommend keeping the preset cutting mode.
• • If documents printed using Automatic cut or Eject cut are short, rolls are advanced a specific amount
before cutting to prevent problems with cutting and paper ejection. This may create a wider bottom
margin, in some cases.

dry)
Important
• • When cutting wide printed documents after Eject cut, have two people support the documents. If the
paper drops, printed documents may be damaged.
• Do not lift the paper when holding printed documents before cutting. If the paper rises, it may affect •
the printing quality or cause rough cut edges.
• After printing is completed, Eject cut is possible after the set ink drying time has passed. If 5 minutes •
have passed without Eject cut, the printed document will be cut automatically to protect the printer
mechanism.
