2.4 Using the Cutter

The optional cutter is a versatile device which permits you to cut printed sheets automatically
("Auto Cut Mode") and on-demand ("manually"). Even with the Auto Cut Mode set to On you can
cut manually whenever you want, because manual cut and host cut commands take precedence
over auto cut.
2.4.1 On-Demand ("Manual") Cutter Operation
With the cutter installed you can use the FEED ◄ button to cut on-demand. Press ◄ to move the
paper to the position just below the last printed sheet then cut the sheet. If the printer does not
have a cutter, the FEED ◄ button operates as previously defined (Form Feed). You can also use
the "Cut" menu option under the "Operations" menu to cut on demand (see page 20).
