Cutting Media

When you finish printing, use a commercially available cutter to cut the media.
Warning: Be careful not to cut yourself when using cutters or other sharp blades. Also be careful touching areas near the after heater since the after heater may be hot and you could be burned.
  1. Press the  media setup button.
  2. Select Feed To Cut Position and press the OK button. The printer feeds the media to the cutting position (cutter groove).


    Note: If you printed the amount of media remaining onto your media, press the up arrow button to rewind the media as necessary to keep this information with the unprinted roll.
  3. If you are using the auto take-up reel, raise the tension bar.


  4. Use your cutting tool to cut the media along the cutting groove.


    Warning: Do not place your fingers in the path of the cutting tool to avoid injuring yourself.
  5. Do one of the following:
    • If you are not using the auto take-up reel, skip the remaining step.
    • If you are using the auto take-up reel, go to the next step.
  6. Set the Auto switch to off, then set the Manual switch to take up the cut media onto the take-up reel, depending on the printable side of the media:
    • Move the switch to the position for printable-side-out media.
    • Move the switch to the position for printable-side-in media.
