Hints and Tips for Cutting Settings
• Setting the [PREFEED] menu item to "ENABLE" makes the machine automatically feed out media and
take it up again before cutting. This makes it unnecessary to run out media to the rear of the machine
before the operation.
"
P. 60, "Preventing Pulling of the Media with Undue Force"
• Switching off the print heater and dryer and allowing the temperature to cool before performing cutting
can yield results that are more stable.

P. 118, "Making the Temperature Setting for the Media Heating System"
• The tip of the blade holder cap may scrape and soil or damage the printed surface. If this happens, in-
crease the amount of blade extension.

Important Note on Cutting
When you are performing cutting only, do not use the media clamps.
When you are performing cutting only, remove the media clamps or move them to locations where they do
not clamp the media.
When using roll media and only performing cutting, allow the media to hang down from
the rear of the machine. (Or set the [PREFEED] menu to "ENABLE.")
This prevents motor errors and the roll falling from the machine due to the media being pulled with excessive
force.
"
For the [PREFEED] menu, see the following section. P. 60, "Preventing Pulling of the Media with Undue Force"
When you are performing printing and cutting, allow the ink to dry sufficiently before
starting cutting.
Use your software RIP to make the setting for the drying time. For information on how to configure the settings,
refer to the documentation for the software RIP you are using. The drying time varies according to the media.
