The paper is cut when the print has been completed

By default the printer cuts the paper after the drying time has been completed, see Change the drying time on page 56. You can disable the cutter, see Turn the automatic cutter on and off on page 56.

The cutter does not cut well

By default the printer is set to automatically cut the paper after the drying time has been completed.

If the cutter is turned on but not cutting correctly, check that the cutter rail is clean and clear of any obstacles.

If the cutter is turned off, the Form feed and cut key only advances the paper. Use this key to move the print far enough out of the front of the printer, until it is convenient to manually cut with a straight edge or scissors.

The roll is loose on the spindle

The roll may need to be replaced or reloaded. If your roll has a three-inch cardboard core, ensure the core adaptors supplied with the printer have been installed, see Load a roll onto the 24-inch spindle on page 36.

A strip stays on the output tray and generates jams

If a small piece of paper (200 mm or smaller) has been cut, such as before (if new roll) and after a full-

bleed print or after the Form feed and cut key has been pressed, the cut strip remains in the output tray. Only when the printer is not working, reach in the tray and remove the strip.

Paper issues

Recalibrate the paper advance

Accurate paper advance is important to image quality because it is part of controlling the proper placement of dots on the paper. If the paper is not advanced the proper distance between printhead passes, light or dark bands appear in the print and image grain may increase.

The printer is calibrated to advance correctly with all the papers appearing in the front panel. When you select the type of loaded paper, the printer adjusts the rate at which to advance the paper while printing. However, if you are not satisfied with the default calibration of your paper, you may need to recalibrate the rate at which the paper advances. See Troubleshooting print-quality issues on page 159 for steps to determine if paper advance calibration will solve your issue.
