Cutting Is Misaligned or Skewed

Is the media loaded correctly?

If the media is not loaded correctly or the media feed is not smooth, printing may be adversely affected. Load the
media correctly.

Are the settings for the cutting conditions appropriate?

Misalignment or skewing may occur if the cutting speed is too fast or the blade force is too high. Try changing the
cutting conditions. With media having a strong adhesive layer, the adhesive layer reattaches to itself immediately
after cutting. However, if a cutting test shows that the peeling of the media and the blade traces on the backing
paper are optimal, the media is being cut properly. Be careful not to make the blade force too high.

Is the length of output too long?

For printing followed immediately by cutting in particular, the longer the page length (that is, the longer the dis-
tance the media is returned after printing), the greater the chance of misalignment occurring. It is a good idea to
keep the size of each single page to the minimum necessary.

Are you using media that exhibits large expansion and contraction?

When you are performing printing followed immediately by cutting, misalignment occurs if the media expands or
contracts. If this happens, try performing printing with crop marks, and then setting the base point and align
points and performing cutting. This corrects for the expansion and contraction of the media.

Is the setting for the [CALIBRATION] menu item (under [CUTTING MENU]) correct?

When you are performing printing followed immediately by cutting, go to [CUTTING MENU] and set the [CALIBRA-
TION] value to "0.00."
