Cutting Roll Paper Manually

You can disable the Auto Cut option to keep your prints on the roll until you manually cut them using the built-in cutter.

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 Paper Settings > Auto Cut > Off.
Print your file.
Select the cut icon.
Do one of the following:
- If you want to move the paper into a different cutting position, press and hold the or icon until the cut location reaches the cutting position labeled on the printer, and then select Cut.
- If you don't need to reposition the paper, select Cut to cut the paper with the built-in cutter.
Note: The minimum length of paper you can cut with the built-in cutter is 3.15 in. (80 mm) or 5 inches (127 mm), depending on the paper type. These minimum lengths cannot be changed. Paper is automatically fed if the length is shorter than the minimum. Cut any excess paper by hand, as necessary.

Note: If the paper cannot be cut by the built-in cutter, press the

icon until your print is clear of the printer, then cut the print by hand.
