Note
• Automatic and Eject are valid only when you have selected Auto Cut > Yes in the printer driver.
• With Eject, printing does not resume after a series of jobs have been printed continuously until the roll is cut.
• Eject is the preset selection in Cutting Mode for some types of paper. For this paper, we recommend keeping the
preset cutting mode.
•
If documents printed using Automatic, Eject, or manual cutting are short, rolls are advanced a specific amount be-
fore cutting to prevent problems with cutting and paper ejection. This may create a wider bottom margin, in some
cases.
Cut rolls manually in the following cases:
Eject (when the paper surface is being scratched / to wait for ink to dry)
Important
• When cutting wide printed documents after ejection, have two people support the documents. If the paper drops,
printed documents may be damaged.
• Do not lift the paper when holding printed documents before cutting. If the paper rises, it may affect the printing
quality or cause rough cut edges.
Note
• Once the following step has been performed, the procedure can be started from step 7 the next time.
• Printing the second and subsequent times
• Printing after replacing with the same type of paper
