The cutter is not functioning as it normally does, and/or the quality of the
cut line has degraded.
Symptoms:
Ñ The cut line is rough or jagged as if the media were being ripped instead
of sliced.
Ñ If the cut line has sharp, pointed corners, some of these corners start to
lift up as they are cut.
Ñ Excess cutting pressure is required for print media which originally
required far less pressure.
Ñ Print media which normally cuts fine, starts to stall the cutter as cut
pressure is increased.
■
Most likely due to a dull cutter blade. Check and/or replace the cutter blade
according to Section 8-K.
The cut line is not centered around the printed object.
■
Be sure the cutter settings are configured properly according to Section 7-C.
■
Be sure the blank size within PressPrint is set to the default size of
11.71Ó x 17.3Ó.
The cutter is cutting too deeply or is not cutting deeply enough.
■
The various print media will require unique cutter pressure settings. Use the
Cutting Pressure Slide to adjust the cut pressure accordingly. See Section 3-D
for instructions on properly adjusting the cutting pressure.
My image gets cut off at the top or bottom (or on the side in Landscape
mode).
■
Remember, there is an unprintable area at the top and bottom of all print
media. This is necessary so that the printer can grip the print media while
feeding it back and forth. See Paper Size explanation in Section 6-D for more
print area information. Be sure images fall within this print area and that the
Layout\Blank Size option in PressPrint is set to 11.710Ó x 17.3Ó.
Multiple sheets of print media feed at the same time.
■
Be sure to fan or separate the media before loading. Static and moisture tend to
attract two sheets together. This is especially true with the #300-Series clear or
white cast vinyl. Also, be sure the Media Supply TrayÕs In-Feed Clutch is set
properly according to Section 4-H.
