About the Cutter
•
Depending on the paper, there are types that cannot be cut by the cutter unit, and types that speed deterioration
of the blade and cause damage to the cutter. For thick paper, hard paper, etc. do not use the cutter unit, and in-
stead cut the roll paper using scissors, etc. after printing. In this case, select
User Cut as the Automatic Cutting
Settings in the Roll Paper Settings dialog box.
Note
• If the cutter is damaged, contact your Canon dealer for assistance.
• For details on the methods for cutting roll paper, see "Specifying the Cutting Method for Rolls."
