Printer Settings > Advanced.

From the HP Utility for Mac OS, select Configuration > Printer Settings > Advanced and
change the Cutter option.

From the Embedded Web Server, select the Setup tab, then Printer Settings > Advanced, and
change the Cutter option.

From the front panel, select the Setup menu icon

, then Print retrieval > Enable cutter and

change the cutter option.

The default setting is On.

NOTE:

If the cutter is turned off, it will not cut the paper between jobs, but it will continue to cut the

paper on loading, unloading and switching between rolls.

TIP:

To cut roll paper while the automatic cutter is disabled, see

Feed and cut the paper

on page 45

.

Feed and cut the paper

If you press the

Form feed and cut

key

on the front panel, the printer advances the paper and

makes a straight cut across the front edge. There are several possible reasons why you might want to
do this.

To trim the leading edge of the paper if it is damaged or not straight.

To feed and cut the paper when the automatic cutter has been disabled.

To cancel the waiting time and print the available pages immediagely, if the printer is waiting to
nest more pages (T1200 series only).

NOTE:

The printheads are serviced after each print, and the paper cannot be cut until the process

completes, so you may notice a delay.

CAUTION:

Remove the cut piece from the output tray. If strips or short prints are left in the output

tray the printer could jam.

NOTE:

Photo and coated paper requires careful handling, see

The print is scuffed or scratched

on page 154

.

TIP:

To move the paper without cutting it, see

Move the paper on page 43

.
