Chapter 2: Basic Operation
If Automatic Alignment Cannot Be Performed
If the machine fails to detect the crop marks, the screen shown at right appears and
operation stops.
If this happens, take action as follows.
(a) The media is slanted at too great an angle, or its loaded location is misaligned. Try
redoing steps 1 and 2 described "Aligning Automatically."
(b) The media is not suitable for automatic crop-mark detection. If this is the case, then
perform alignment manually. For more information, refer to the next section, "Align-
ing Manually."
When you're using lengthy media, after every three meters of media feed the screen
shown at right appears and operation pauses.
• To continue with detection : Press the [PAUSE] key.
• To quit : Press the [ENTER] key.
The effects of media warping or the like may make sensing of crop marks impossible.
If this is the case, then perform alignment manually. For more information, refer to the
next section, "Aligning Manually."
Lengthy media in particular is prone to large error due to warping and the like, making
it unsuited to cutting alignment. We recommend dividing such media into segments
that are as short as possible, then performing output separately for each segment. If the
crop marks cannot be read because of the effects of media warping or the like, then
perform alignment manually.
To Stop Detection
To stop crop-mark detection while in progress, follow the steps below.
1. Press the [PAUSE] key. The screen shown in the figure appears.
