lineNote• 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 keep-
ing the preset cutting mode.
• If  documents  printed  using  Automatic,  Eject,  or  manual  cutting  are  short,  rolls  are  advanced  a  specific
amount  before  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 (waiting for ink to dry after printing)
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.

Cutting the Leading Edge of Roll Paper Automatically
If the leading edge of a roll is crooked or warped, it may cause an error message or printing problems. In this case, set  Trim
Edge First  to Automatic  or On  on the Control Panel to have the printer cut the leading edge to make the edge straight after
you load a roll.
Trim Edge First  offers the following options.
•
Automatic
If  the  left  and  right  side  of  the  leading  edge  of  the  roll  ((a)  and  (b))  are  uneven  by  40  mm  (1.6  in)  or  more  when  you
load the roll, the edge is cut an amount relative to the slant to ensure a straight edge, and scraps are removed. The edge
is  not  cut  if  the  unevenness  is  less  than  40  mm.  However,  paper  may  sometimes  be  cut,  depending  on  the  state  of  the leading edge.
•
Off
The edge is not cut and scraps are not removed.

• For  paper  of  irregular  widths,  setting  Skew  Check  Lv.  to Loose   lowers  the  skew  detection  threshold,  and
setting  it  to  Off  deactivates  skew  detection.  However,  if  paper  is  loaded  askew  when  detection  is  Off,  note

of documents. It may help prevent Printhead damage. You can specify for  CutDustReduct. to be activated for particular
types of paper.Important• Do  not  set  CutDustReduct.   to On  for  paper  that  wrinkles  easily,  such  as  Plain  Paper  or  lightweight  paper.

Loading Sheets in the Printer
Follow these steps to load sheets in the printer.
Note• Loading  sheets  when  a  roll  is  already  loaded  in  the  printer  may  cause  jams.  We  recommend  removing  rolls
before loading sheets.   (See "Removing the Roll from the Printer .")
→P.786
To prevent the roll from unwinding if you leave it loaded, wrap a sheet of paper around the roll and tape it.
• Before loading sheets, make sure the printer is clean inside the Top Cover and around the Ejection Guide. If
these  areas  are  dirty,  we  recommend  cleaning  them  in  advance.    (See  "Cleaning  Inside  the  Top  Cover .")
→P.1026
• Store unused paper in the original package, away from high temperature, humidity, and direct sunlight.
• Paper that is wrinkled or warped may jam. If necessary, straighten the paper and reload it.
• Load the paper straight. Loading paper askew will cause an error.
