4-7 Using the Crop-mark Feature

To Perform Printing and Cutting Separately

When you remove printed media and then reload it and perform cutting, you carry out alignment to prevent misalign-
ment 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.

When you are printing with crop marks, set a margin of at least 90 mm (3-9/16 in.) before the next print-start position.
You can set the margin value with the software you're using. For information on how to make the setting, refer to the
documentation for the software you're using.
