Form feed with or without cutting
If you go to the front panel and press , then Form feed and cut, the printer advances the paper and makes a straight cut across the front edge. There are at least two possible reasons why you might want to do this.
●To trim the leading edge of the paper if it is damaged or not straight.
●To feed and cut the paper when the automatic cutter has been disabled.
NOTE: The printhead is serviced after each print, and the paper cannot be cut until the process completes, so you may notice a delay.
CAUTION: Remove the cut piece from the output platen. If strips or short prints are left on the output platen, the printer could jam. Check also that there are no pieces of paper in the cutter guide.
NOTE: Photo and coated paper requires careful handling, see The print is scuffed or scratched on page 112.
To advance the paper without cutting it, go to the front panel and press , then Form feed.
