Important
• Depending on the paper, there are types that cannot be cut by the cutter unit, and types that speed
deterioration of the blade and cause damage to the cutter. For thick paper, hard paper, etc. do not use
the cutter unit, and instead cut the roll paper using scissors, etc. after printing. In this case, select User
Cut as the Automatic Cutting Settings.
• If borderless printing is performed on paper where the ink drying is poor, the cutter unit may leave
scratches where it touches the printed surface, or may not cut correctly. In this kind of situation, config-
ure the amount of time to wait for the ink to dry after printing using Drying Time. Alternatively, if the
paper cannot be cut well by the cutter, set the Automatic Cutting Settings to User Cut and cut the roll
paper using scissors, etc.
• Paper where borderless printing can be performed is limited by the media type and roll paper width. Re-
fer to "Compatible Paper" ➔P.413 .
• For custom paper where there is a need to set the Automatic Cutting Settings to User Cut, set the
Borderless Printing to Deny.
