    The printer supports both rolls and sheets.
    This section introduces the main features of each, as well as the main printing methods available. Select rolls or sheets to
    suit your particular printing application. Note
    • For 
    information on the types of paper the printer supports, refer to the Paper Reference Guide.   (See "Types
    of Paper.") →P.617
    • A 
    
    variety of other ways to print are available besides those introduced here. Choose the printing method that
    suits  your  particular  printing  application,  referring  to  "Working  with  Various  Print  Jobs"  and  "Enhanced Printing Options" from the table of contents. Roll printing
    Media in spooled rolls is generally called Roll Media. Rolls are loaded on the Roll Holder, which are in turn loaded in the
    printer.
    Rolls can be used to print large photos or create posters or banners that cannot be printed on regular sheets.
    •Large-format printing
    Easily print vertical or horizontal banners from familiar applications such as Microsoft Office applications.
     (See "Printing Vertical or Horizontal Banners (Large-Format Printing) .") →P.115
    • Borderless printing
    Print without a margin (border) around posters or photos.
     (See " Borderless Printing on Paper of Equivalent Size .") →P.100
     (See "Borderless Printing by Resizing Originals to Fit the Roll Width .") →P.107
     (See "Borderless Printing at Actual Size .") →P.91
    • Banner printing
    You can print multiple pages as a single continuous image, without margins between pages.
     (See "Printing Multiple Pages Continuously .") →P.138
    • 90-degree rotation before printing
    Originals in portrait orientation are rotated 90 degrees when possible to use paper more efficiently.
     (See "Conserving Roll Paper by Rotating Originals 90 Degrees .") →P.167
    • Enlarged/reduced printing
    You can freely adjust the size of originals by enlarging or reducing originals before printing.
     (See "Resizing Originals to Match the Paper Size .") →P.65
     (See "Resizing Originals to Fit the Roll Width .") →P.71
     (See "Resizing Originals by Entering a Scaling Value .") →P.77
    • Free Layout
    
     function
    Print multiple documents from multiple applications (such as word-processing programs, spreadsheet programs, and so
    on) next to each other.
     (See " Printing Multiple Originals Next to Each Other .") →P.133

    							Sheet printing
    Sheets refer to individual sheets of paper.
    Insert the sheet between the Platen and the Paper Retainer.
    •Enlarged/reduced printing
    You can freely adjust the size of originals by enlarging or reducing originals before printing.
     (See "Resizing Originals to Match the Paper Size .") →P.65
     (See "Resizing Originals by Entering a Scaling Value .") →P.77
    • Free Layout function
    Print 
    multiple documents from multiple applications (such as word-processing programs, spreadsheet programs, and so
    on) next to each other.
     (See " Printing Multiple Originals Next to Each Other .") →P.133
    Loading and Printing on Rolls
    These are the basic steps for loading and printing on rolls.
    Follow these steps to switch to a new roll or a roll of a different type or width before printing. Note
    • The 
    procedure varies depending on the  ManageRemainRoll setting in the printer menu and whether or not a
    barcode  has  been  printed  on  the  loaded  roll.    (See  "Keeping  Track  of  the  Amount  of  Roll  Paper  Left .")→P.639
    • Steps 6 and 7 are unnecessary if  ManageRemainRoll is On and a barcode has been printed on the roll.
    • Step 7 is unnecessary if  ManageRemainRoll is Off.
    • When  Width 
    
    Detection  in  the  printer  menu  is  Off,  after  you  have  selected  the  type  of  paper  in  step  6,  you
    will need to enter the roll width.   (See "Main Menu Settings.") →P.722
    • For 
    
    details on supported sizes and types of rolls, see  Paper Sizes or the Paper Reference Guide.   (See "Paper
    Sizes.") →P.620
     (See "Types of Paper.") →P.617
    • If 
    
    you are not using the optional Media Take-up Unit when printing long documents such as banners, spread
    a clean cloth or paper on the floor. Use the Stationary Output Stacker to prevent long printed documents from being soiled by the floor after they are printed.   (See "Using the Stationary Output Stacker.") →P.659
    • If 
    
    you prefer to wait for the ink to dry after printing and simply eject the document, you can deactivate auto-
    matic cutting and cut the paper manually.   (See "Specifying the Cutting Method for Rolls .") →P.642
    1. Turn the printer on.   (See "Turning the Printer On and Off.") →P.694 Basic Printing Workflow
