Send the output data from the computer.
Create the output data using drawing application software. For information on how to create the
data, refer to the documentation of your application software.
To perform cutting or printing and cutting, you have to include the cutting data in the output data. For
information on how to create cutting data, refer to the documentation for the included software RIP.
MEMO
When you send the output data, "FILLING" or "CLEANING" may be displayed on the screen. These
indicate the preparation operations performed before output. Output will begin after the time
displayed on the screen elapses.
Important: Output is not possible in these situations.
• The machine does not run when a cover (front, left, or right) is open.
• Never open a cover (front, left, or right) while output is in progress. Doing so interrupts printing.
• Data from the computer is not accepted when [SETUP] is dark.
• Printing does not start until [HEATER] lights. (If both "PRINT HEATER" and "DRYER" are set to "OFF,"
printing is possible even if [HEATER] is not lit.)

• Data from the computer is not accepted when you are not at the top menu.
Important: Points that must be observed
• When you are performing printing, be sure to attach the media clamps. Otherwise the edges of the
media may warp and catch on the print heads.
• During output, do not touch the media. Doing so may obstruct the media feed or cause the media to
rub against the print heads, which may result in a paper jam or damage to the heads.
• Keep the loading lever raised when the machine is not in use.
Important: When not using the machine, remove any media and store it in a suitable environment.
• If the machine is left with the media loaded, the media may be damaged, which may adversely affect
printing. When not using the machine, remove any media and store it in a suitable environment.
