2-6 Performing Cutting
To Perform Cutting
To perform cutting, carry out the procedure described below.

Move the media clamps to locations where they don’t clamp the media. Alternatively,
remove the media clamps.

When you're performing cutting only, then if you're cutting roll media, allow the media to
hang down from the rear of the machine.
If cutting is started without doing this first, a motor error may occur or the roll may fall because the media is pulled
with excessive force.
Important Notes on Cutting

Never use the media clamps. You can also detach them when not in use.
 P. 81, "Printing Media That Warps Easily"

When you’re performing printing followed immediately by cutting, then before you start cutting, allow
the ink to dry sufficiently. Use your software RIP to make the setting for the drying time. For information
on how to make the setting, refer to the documentation for the software RIP you're using. The drying
time varies according to the media.
Media clamps
Turn the media flanges
by hand to pull out the
necessary length from
the roll.
