Important Notes on Using the Long Media Clamps
When you're using the long media clamps, be sure to set the [MEDIA CLAMP] menu item to [LONG]
to disable media cutoff. Performing cutting the media when the long media clamps are installed causes
interference with the separating knife, which may result in malfunction or damage to the machine.
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].

Give Attention to Media Composition

For some types of media, cutoff is not possible.

Some types of media may remain on the platen after cutoff. If the media remains on the platen, remove
it by hand.

When you cut off media while using the short media clamps, then depending on the media, it may
come loose from the media clamps. After you cut off the media, check to make sure that the media
has not come loose from the media clamps.
Before you're performing cutoff, never use 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.
