5.5 Selecting the cutting mark function
∗ Each time the Cutting Mark Key is pressed, the red pilot LED lamp light up or goes off.
∗ If you do not use the cutting mark function, turn the LED lamp off.
∗ If you use the cutting mark function, turn the LED lamp on.
∗ If you do not use the cutting mark function, the machine cuts away the top margin at the distance of the
imposed dimension from the edge.
∗ If you use the cutting mark function, the machine cuts away the top margin at the distance of 3mm
from the edge of the printed cutting mark regardless of the dimension of the top margin.
∗ The cutting mark is printed together with the composed content, so that even if printing is out of
position, the paper can be cut with almost no shear from the designed layout in the direction of the
long side of letter-size and legal-size paper because cutting is performed based on the cutting mark.
∗ If you compose and print the cutting mark simultaneously, print it in the following position.
∗ The cutting mark can be used when the cutting mode is 1, 2, 3, 5, 9, or 10. If the cutting mode is 4, 6, 7,
or 8, no top margin remains so this function cannot be used.
∗ The cutting mark is printed in black, but depending on the type of ink used for the printer, the cutting
mark may not be detected by the sensor of this machine. Also, the cutting mark may not be detected
depending on the color of the paper (particularly deep colors).
∗ If the cutting mark function is used but no cutting mark is printed on the paper, the machine stops and
E006 is displayed on the display panel.
(Also, in cutting mode 4, 6, 7, or 8, there is no top margin, and so the machine stops in the same way.)
∗ If the cutting mark function is not used but a cutting mark is printed on the paper, the paper is cut
based on the top margin width set by the selected cutting mode.
∗ Because the cutting mark is placed in the margin of the paper, some printers may not be able to print it.
