4-9 Performing Printing and Cutting Separately
To Perform Printing and Cutting Separately
When you remove printed media and then reload it and perform cutting, you carry out alignment to prevent misalignment
of the printing results and the cut lines. You do this at times such as when, for example, you perform lamination or other
processing after printing, then reload the media and perform cutting. At such times, you perform printing with crop marks.
You can perform automatic alignment with detection of the printed crop marks when you perform cutting.
Printing with Crop Marks
Use your software RIP to make the settings for printing crop marks. For information on how to make the setting, refer to the
documentation for the software RIP you're using. Alignment marks and symbols drawn using a graphics program cannot
be used as crop marks.

Media Sizes Allowing Automatic Crop Mark Detection
When you are printing with crop marks, set a margin of at least 90 mm (3.5 in.) before the next print-start position.
You can set the margin value with the software RIP you're using. For information on how to make the setting, refer to the
documentation for the software RIP you're using.
