Opening the front cover while printing is in progress causes an emergency stop. This means that printing may
not be carried out correctly even if operation is resumed, due to drop-out or misalignment of the image.
To pause printing for any other reason than an emergency stop, press the [PAUSE] key.
Note pressing the [PAUSE] key to pause operation may result in differing image quality before and after the
pause. It is a good idea to avoid pausing operation while printing is in progress whenever possible.
NOTICE
If you will leave the printing head being uncapped for a long time (for example, open the front cover while
printing is made on the middle of platen), printing heads may get clogging and, in some case it results unrecov-
erable damage to the printing head.

If the data sent from the computer is wider than the printing/cutting area of
the loaded material, the message at right appears and operation stops.
To ignore this message and continue printing, press the [ENTER] key. Note
that the portion outside the printing/cutting area is not outputted.
To stop outputting, stop sending data from the computer, then press the
[SETUP] key. Increase the printing/cutting area by replacing with a larger
piece of material or changing the positions on the pinch rollers, then send the
data again.
