Cutting Roll Paper Manually

You can keep your prints on the roll until you manually cut them.

Turn off the Auto Cut setting in the printer driver or the control panel, depending on the situation:
- If you want to cut the paper manually, turn off the setting in the printer driver. Select Advanced > Roll Paper Option > Auto Cut.
  Note: The Auto Cut setting in the printer driver overrides the control panel setting. The printer driver setting returns to automatic cutting when you close the application.
- If you are using a paper type that cannot be cut with the built-in cutter, turn off the setting in the control panel. From the roll paper information area, select Advanced Media Setting > Auto Cut > Off.
- If you want to turn off Auto Cut during enlarged copying, HP-GL/2 mode printing, or printing directly from the flash drive, turn off the setting in the control panel. From the roll paper information area, select Advanced Media Setting > Auto Cut > Off. The setting option will be saved for the currently selected paper type.
Print your document and wait for printing to finish.
From the roll paper information area, select Feed/Cut Paper.
To move the paper into cutting position, press and hold Forward or Backward until the position you want to cut appears at the dotted line as shown.
To cut the paper, select Cut.
- If the Auto Cut setting is turned off only in the printer driver, the paper is cut and the paper leading edge returns to the print wait position.
- If the Auto Cut setting is turned off in the control panel, select Cut to manually cut the paper with scissors or select Print Cutting Guideline to print a line on the paper to guide with manual cutting. Select Done when you are finished to rewind the paper.
