What Is Cutting with Crop Marks?
If you are removing the printed media and loading it again in order to cut it (for example, if you are proc-
essing the media such as laminating after printing, and then loading this media again for cutting), you
have to align the printing and cutting positions. By printing the data together with crop marks, you can
make it possible to align the positions using the crop marks when you load the media again to cut it. In this
manual, this printing method is referred to as "cutting with crop marks."
"Crop marks" are marks used to align positions. They are also called "alignment marks."
Step 1: Performing a Nozzle Drop-out Test
Before you carry out actual printing, perform a printing test to ensure no dot drop-out or dot displacement
occurs. If dot drop-out or dot displacement occurs, perform cleaning of the print heads (normal cleaning).
When performing printing tests successively, you can select [Feed] (vertical printing) or [Scan] (horizontal printing) as
the printing position for the second and later tests in comparison to the first test.
