Cutting Roll Paper Manually

You can keep your prints on the roll until you manually cut them.
  1. 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 takes priority over the setting in the control panel. 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.
  2. Print your document.
  3. From the roll paper information area, select Feed/Cut Paper.
  4. To move the paper into a cutting position, press and hold Forward or Backward until the position at which you want to cut appears at the dotted line as shown.


  5. 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.
