Introduction
Auto-Cut
When the Auto-Cut option is set to On, the printer automatically cuts the media when the image is complete. To
be sure the image is dry before cutting, turn on the dryer and/or specify an auto-cut delay time. See "Auto-Cut
Delay" below for the procedure. You can select Cut from the control panel at any time to cut the media.
Note: Automatic cutting is disabled when the paper feed option is set to Sheet or Takeup.
To set auto-cut
1 Press Setup Menu/Paper Option Menu/Auto-Cut Menu/Auto-Cut.
2 Choose On or Off.
3 Press OK.
Auto-Cut Delay
Auto-Cut Delay allows you to set a delay time before the printer automatically performs the auto-cut function.
This provides additional time for unattended prints to dry. In addition, you may want to delay auto-cut depending
on the media you are using, the ambient temperature and the humidity. Auto-Cut Delay values range from 0 to 55
seconds in five second intervals and 1 to 60 minutes in one minute intervals. When the delay time has expired, the
printer cuts the image and begins printing the next image in the buffer. Auto-Cut Delay is ignored when Auto-Cut
is set to Off.
To set auto-cut delay
1 Press Setup Menu/Paper Option/Menu/Auto-Cut Menu/Auto-Cut Delay.
2 Choose a time.
3 Press OK.
