Chapter 2: Basic Operation
2-5 Cutting
To Perform Cutting
If you're using roll media, then before you start cutting, leave media hanging freely at the rear. Turn the media flanges by
hand to pull out the necessary length from the roll. If cutting is started without doing this first, a motor error may occur
or the roll may fall because the media is pulled with excessive force.
Also, before performing a cutting test or starting cutting, make sure the following two points have been carried out.
• Media is loaded, a blade is installed, and the front cover is closed.
• The SETUP LED is illuminated.
Pressing the [SETUP] key detects the width of the media and displays the printable width.
Do not open the front cover. Opening the front cover while cutting is in progress causes an emergency stop. This means that
printing may not be carried out correctly even if operation is resumed, due to drop-out or misalignment of the image.
Do not use the media clamps during cutting.
How to Load Media
For information on how to load media, refer to "2-3 Loading Media."
The [SETUP] Key
Pressing this for one second or longer clears the media setup.
If another menu screen is displayed, the media setup is not cleared simply by pressing the [SETUP] key.
