Operating The Cutter - Xerox X2 User Manual

Operating the cutter

Operations
The cutter can automatically cut the media from the roll to the
selected print size after printing is completed. The cutter then stops
at the left rest position after the cut is completed.
If the cutter stops without completing the cut cycle due to a media
jam, e.g., the printer being turned off or a power failure, turn off the
printer using its power switch. After correcting the source of the
problem, turn on the printer's power switch. The cutter will return to
the left position.
Note – The cutter has been designed to last the life of the printer.
However, the cutter blade is replaceable. If you have problems with
the cutter, replace the cutter blade. Directions to replace the blade
follow this section.
Caution – Do not pull the media while the cutter is cutting. You may
damage the cutter or the print.
There are two cut modes available:
1. Normal cut mode
2. No cut mode
Normal weight coated media or film can be cut using the normal cut
mode. When heavy media or film cannot be cut with the normal
mode, select the No Cut mode. In the No Cut mode, after printing is
finished and the media is forwarded, the operator then cuts manually
using a knife or scissors. The printer halts and waits for the next
operation.
To avoid injury, the print job will not start if the printer's cover is open,
even if data is sent to the printer. Use the manual no cut mode
whenever the media cannot be cut in the normal cut mode.
The operator can then manually cut the print using an appropriate
cutting tool.
