2-6 Performing Cutting
To Perform Cutting
To perform cutting, carry out the procedure described below.
Move the media clamps to locations where they don't clamp the media. Alter-
natively, remove the media clamps.
When you're performing cutting only, then if you're cutting roll media, allow
the media to hang down from the rear of the machine.
If cutting is started without doing this first, a motor error may occur or the roll may fall because
the media is pulled with excessive force.
Important Notes on Cutting
Never use the media clamps. You can also detach them when not in use.
When you're performing printing followed immediately by cutting, then before you
start cutting, allow the ink to dry sufficiently. Use your software RIP to make the
setting for the drying time. For information on how to make the setting, refer to the
documentation for the software RIP you're using. The drying time varies according
to the media.
Media clamps
Turn the media flanges by hand
to pull out the necessary length
from the roll.
