Part 4 Steps Up Through Printing and Cutting

Now that you've finished setting up the PC-12, let's try outputting printing or cutting data created using a program that is compatible with the
PC-12.
Make sure the PC-12 is turned on and media is loaded.

4.1 Printing Tests and Cutting Tests

Before you output data to the PC-12, carry out a printing test and a cutting test.
When you have installed an ink-ribbon cartridge for the first time, or when you have replaced an ink-ribbon cartridge, carry out a printing test
to make sure printing can be performed correctly.
Also, be sure to perform a cutting test when you have loaded media for the first time, changed the blade, or replaced the media with a different
type.

Printing Test

Perform demo printing to make sure printing can be carried out correctly.
- Demo printing uses resin-use media and resin-use CMYK ink-ribbon cartridges.
You can't use wax-ink use media and wax-use ink-ribon cartridge.
- The required media size is 152 mm (6 in.) or more wide by 152 mm (6 in.) or more in length.
- If the power is switched off while demo printing is in progress, then the next time you switch on the power, the
machine cuts off the media and goes into data standby.
