Cutting Roll Paper

The printer has a built-in cutter that can automatically cut most paper types. When Auto Cut is turned on,
paper is automatically cut after each page prints, or if the roll paper leading edge is not straight.

Caution:

Use of the built-in cutter is not recommended for commercially available canvas or synthetic

paper, as it may dull the blade and require more frequent blade replacement. When you print on this
paper type, disable the

Auto Cut

setting and cut the print off the roll manually.

To switch between automatic or manual cutting methods, adjust the

Auto Cut

settings in the printer

driver. The setting selected in the printer driver overrides the control panel setting.

Cutting Roll Paper Manually

You can keep your prints on the roll until you manually cut them.

1.

Turn off the

Auto Cut

setting in the printer driver or the control panel, depending on the situation:

• If you want to cut the paper manually, turn off the setting in the printer driver. Select

Advanced

>

Roll Paper Option

>

Auto Cut

.

Note:

The

Auto Cut

setting in the printer driver takes priority over the setting in the control panel.

The printer driver setting returns to automatic cutting when you close the application.
