Margins

Adjusting the Margins (Roll Media Only)

Besides nesting and setting the page size, you can also change the margin settings and expand the plotting area of the page, therefore reducing the amount of media waste. The two side margins are 5.0 mm. The automatic setting of the plotter's margins is 17 mm on the leading and trailing edges of the media. By reducing the margins to 10 mm on the leading and trailing edges of the media, you can use

14 mm more plotting area along that axis. The adjustment is available in the front panel.

Margins and Automatic Cutting

IMPORTANT When Margins is set to Smaller, the plotter waits for the plot to dry and the next plot to begin plotting before cutting the plot from the roll. If you press Form Feed and Cut, the plotter immediately cuts off the current plot. When the next plot begins, the plotter cuts again to give this plot the narrow margin.
