Procedure
Media clamp
Important Notes on Cutting
➢Never use the media clamps. Using them may cause malfunction.
➢If you're using the [PREFEED] feature, the media is automatically fed out and taken up again before cutting is
performed. This makes it unnecessary to run out media to the rear of the machine before the operation.
P.93, "Preventing Pulling of the Media with Undue Force When Performing Cutting Only"
➢When you're performing cutting, move the dancer roller toward the rear, or detach it. Otherwise media pulled
out to the front during lengthy output may interfere with the dancer roller, which may affect output quality.

Chapter 3 Using the Cutting Feature
Be sure to carry out the operation according to the procedure described.
Otherwise a motor error may occur or the roll may fall because the media is pulled with
excessive force.
Turn the media flanges by hand to pull out the
necessary length from the roll.
Detach 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.
