Cut the media (manual)

Introduction

When you manually cut media, the printer does not use the embedded knife but you have to use your own knife or pair of scissors.

How the media is cut depends on the media type configuration in the RIP. For more information, see Change the media settings.

Use a knife or pair of scissors that is sharp enough to cut the media.

On the operator panel tap on the [Cut] icon on the top right.
The printer transports the media automatically. The operator panel displays a request to make a manual cut.
Move the media guides to the sides.
When a tension bar is present, a window telling you to remove the tension bar opens. Remove the tension bar from the media path.
Use a knife to cut the media. Cut the media as close as possible to the take-up roll.
IMPORTANT
Cut as indicated in the illustration. Check that nothing is blocking the cutting path.
Tape the trailing edge to the take-up media roll in case of winding.
After you finish, tap on [Completed] on the operator panel.

You can now remove the take-up media roll from the roll winder. For more information, see Unload a take-up media roll from the roll winder.
