OPERATING PROCEDURES
Using trimming
Use the trimming feature to crop and print only a selected portion
of an image.
■ What is trimming?
Trimming means selecting only a portion of an image and crop-
ping it for printing. Only the trimmed or cropped area of the im-
age is printed. For example, you could trim a single article from a
full page of newspaper print and print only the article enclosed in
a trimmed rectangle.
To select trimming, press the Border key on the operation panel
until the lamp next to the trimming icon lights (
). Follow the
procedure below to define the area to the image to be printed.
■ Defining an area for trimming
1. Press and hold down the Border key for approximately 5 seconds
until the lamp for trimming (
) starts blinking.
The current area setting is shown in the Print display.
2. To adjust the area setting, press the Print Number Setting keys.
The starting point or origin for defining the screen area is the lower
right corner of the screen.
Plus key Press to move in the vertical direction. The
number in the Print display shows the current
screen vertical coordinate.
Minus key Press to move in the horizontal direction. The
number in the Print display shows the current
horizontal coordinate.
For example, the illustration shows the vertical set for 4 and the
horizontal set for 7. The shaded area is the area trimmed and se-
lected for printing.
3. To save the setting, press the Border Button. The setting remains
in effect even after the power is turned off and turned again.
If you have installed the optional Framing Kit, you can-
not use this method to set an area on the screen. Use
the area setting tapes to define an area.
