76 Handling Paper and Other Media

Note

An optional media cutter is available for cutting thick media. See page 10 for details on ordering it.

Cutting Paper Manually with the Built-in Cutter

When you’re not using the Auto Cut setting, you need to cut the paper manually after your print job is finished. If you’re printing on canvas, vinyl, or other heavy media, you should use scissors or the optional media cutter rather than the built-in cutter. Heavy media can damage the built-in cutter.

Do not use the built-in cutter to cut any of the following materials:

• Smooth Fine Art paper

•

Backlight Film

• Textured Fine Art paper

•

Heavyweight Polyester Banner

•

Canvas

•

Adhesive Vinyl

•

Enhanced Matte Posterboard

• any similar third-party papers or

• Somerset Velvet Fine Art paper

 

papers thicker than 10 mil

 

 

Follow these steps to cut manually with the built-in cutter:

1.If the paper is not positioned correctly, press one of the Paper Feed buttons to adjust the paper position. Normally, you don’t need to do this after a print job is finished.

2.Press the Paper Source button until the Roll Auto Cut light comes on.

3.Press the Cut/Eject button. The paper is cut.

Note

You can also specify trim lines from your printer driver software. See page 91 (Macintosh) or page 115 (Windows) for more information.

Printing Trim Lines

You can print trim lines on the right edge of your pages (if you’re using Auto Cut) or on the right and bottom edge (if you’re not using Auto Cut).

2.Press the r button until PLATEN GAP appears.

3.Press the d button until PAGE LINE appears.
