Caution

If you’re using canvas, vinyl, or heavy stock, choose Roll Cutter Off. Media that is too thick may damage the cutter.

Choose Roll Auto Cut if you want the paper to be cut automatically after each page is printed.

Choose Roll Cutter Off if you’re printing on canvas, vinyl, or other heavy media, if you’re using the optional auto take-up reel, or if you want to print a series of pages and keep them together for later cutting.

If you’re using the auto cut setting, you can have a trim line printed on the right edge of your images or pages. If you’re not using auto cut, you can have the line printed on the right and bottom edges of your pages. See page 1-15for instructions.

You can also select roll paper settings through your print options, which will override the control panel settings. See the RIP Station 5100 User Guide or Appendix B or C in this manual for more information.
