3-3 Separating the Media
To cut off a printed portion from the media, use the [SHEET CUT] key.
1
Make sure the [SET UP] light lights up.
2 Hold down the [SHEET CUT] key for at least one second.
The piece is cut off at the present location of the printing-start line.
This step is not necessary when cutoff is performed automatically by sending a media-cutoff command from the com-
puter.
Depending on the composition of the media, cutoff may not be
possible.
Depending on the composition of the media, it may remain on the
platen after cutoff. If this happens, remove it by hand.
When you're performing cutoff, never use the [ ] key to pull the
media back. Unless the end of the media has been pulled out to a
location to the front of the platen, cutoff may not be performed
smoothly.

When You're Using the Long Media Clamps
When the long media clamps are attached, they interfere with the separating knife.
When using them, be sure to set the [MEDIA CLAMP] menu item to [LONG] to prevent execution of media cutoff.
When you make this setting, media cutoff is not performed, even if the [SHEET CUT] key is pressed or a media-cutoff
command is sent from the computer.
If you want to separate the media after printing has finished, be sure to first detach the long media clamps, then set the [MEDIA
CLAMP] menu item to a setting other than [LONG].
For information on how to make the setting, go to "2-3 Loading Media" and refer to "Securing in Place Using the Media
Clamps (Only When Printing) -- Using the Long Media Clamps."
For more information about the [MEDIA CLAMP] menu, refer to "6-2 Detailed Descriptions of the Menus."
