3-2 Performing Output

Never open the front cover. Opening the front cover while printing or cutting is in progress causes an emergency stop. This
means that printing or cutting may not be carried out correctly even if operation is resumed, due to drop-out or misalignment
of the image.
The printing heads may be left uncapped (that is, the printing carriage may remain over the platen). If the machine is allow to
stand to with the printing heads uncapped for a prolonged period, the printing heads may become irreversibly clogged.
If the printing carriage stops while over the platen, press the [POWER] key to reset the power. The printing carriage moves and
the printing heads are capped.
If the printing carriage does not move even when you reset the power using the [POWER] key, go to "7-1 What to Do If..." and
refer to "What to Do When the Printing Carriage Does Not Move."
During printing, never touch the portion of the media that's already been discharged. Doing so may obstruct media feed or
cause the media to rub against the heads, which may result in a paper jam or damage to the heads.
Sending data starts printing or cutting.
You can perform a wide variety of operations depending on the setting for how data is sent.
Sending data only for printing or only for cutting from the computer executes the corresponding printing or cutting only.
When data for both printing and cutting is sent, then after printing finishes, cutting starts automatically (Printing &
Cutting).
It's also possible to perform operations such as detaching the media after printing, carrying out lamination or the like,
then reloading the media and cutting it.
For information on how to make the settings, refer to the documentation for the software you're using.
If the top menu isn't displayed, printing doesn't start even when data is sent from the computer. If another menu screen is
displayed, press the corresponding menu key to go back to the top menu.
The important points to note for printing only, for cutting only, and for printing and cutting are different.
