Feed and cut the paper
If you go to the front panel and press then Paper > Form feed and cut, 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. The cut strip falls into the basket.
● To feed and cut the paper when the automatic cutter has been disabled.
● To cancel the waiting time and print the available pages immediately, if the printer is waiting to nest
more pages.
NOTE: The printhead is serviced after each print, and the paper cannot be cut until the process completes,
so you may notice a delay.
NOTE: Photo and coated paper requires careful handling, see The print is scuffed or scratched
on page 200 .
TIP: To move the paper without cutting it, see Move the paper on page 66 .
Manual cut
To trim the leading edge of paper rolls in order to ensure paper is loaded correctly without creating paper
jams or crashes, you can use the groove located on the top roll cover as a guide to perform a cut with a
cutter. To use, pull the paper on the groove and perform the cut as seen in the image. (image attached
manualcut.jpg). Paper from the second roll can be also cut with this method, just pull paper from the second
roll to the top roll cover.
