Performing Printing Followed Immediately by Cutting
You can perform printing and cutting at the same time. When you send data that contains information for both printing
and cutting, then after the printing has finished, the cutting operation starts.

Before you start cutting, allow the media to dry thoroughly. If the media is not dry enough, the pinch rollers or the
blade may smudge the printed surface during cutting. Drying time may vary according to the type of media or the
settings of the media heating system.
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.
P. 36, "Settings for the Media Heating System"
If the lines for printing and for cutting do not match up, alignment for printing and cutting is required.
P. 104, "Correcting Misalignment of the Printing and Cutting Positions During Printing Followed Immediately by Cutting"
Depending on the type of media and the temperature of the media heating system, expansion or contraction of
the media may cause the positions for printing and cutting to become misaligned. If this happens, use the crop-
mark feature to perform alignment for printing and cutting automatically.
