Cutting the Leading Edge of Roll Paper Automatically If the leading edge of a roll is crooked or warped, it may cause an error message or printing problems. In this case, set Trim Edge First to Automatic or On on the Control Panel to have the printer cut the leading edge to make the edge straight after you load a roll. Trim Edge First offers the following options. • Automatic If the left and right side of the leading edge of the roll ((a) and (b)) are uneven by 40 mm (1.6 in) or more when you load the roll, the edge is cut an amount relative to the slant to ensure a straight edge, and scraps are removed. The edge is not cut if the unevenness is less than 40 mm. However, paper may sometimes be cut, depending on the state of the leading edge. • Off The edge is not cut and scraps are not removed. This setting is Off for most types of paper, by default. For more infor- mation, see the Paper Reference Guide. (See "Types of Paper.") →P.617 • On The leading edge is cut off when you load a roll, and scraps are removed. The amount of paper cut off from the leading edge varies depending on the paper type. For more information, see the Paper Reference Guide. (See "Types of Pa- per.") →P.617 Note • If you print on paper that has an irregular width, set Skew Check Lv. to Loose for a higher skew detection threshold or to Off to disable skew detection. However, if paper is loaded askew when detection is Off, note that paper jams or Platen soiling may occur. Follow these steps to change the Trim Edge First setting. 1.

Reducing Dust from Cutting Rolls The printer is equipped with a function to reduce cutting dust for media such as Backlit Film that are more likely to generate debris when cut. This may improve printing quality and help prevent Printhead damage. You can set up this function to be activated for some types of paper. When this function is activated, black lines are printed at the leading and trailing edges of documents. Important • Do not activate the function to reduce cutting dust for paper that wrinkles easily, such as Plain Paper or light- weight paper. This may impair cutting and cause paper jams. • Borderless printing is not available when this function is activated. Deactivate this function before borderless printing. 1.

Lift the Release Lever and open the Top Cover. Handling Paper > Handling sheets > iPF815 Loading Sheets in the Printer 7 651
Important • Do not touch the Linear Scale (a), Carriage Shaft (b), or Ink Tube Stabilizer (c). Touching these parts may damage them. 2. With a sheet lengthwise and printing-side up, insert it between the Platen (a) and the Paper Retainer (b). Align the edges of the sheet as follows. 1. Align the sheet with the Paper Alignment Line (c) at right. 2. Align the inserted edge of the sheet with the leading edge of the Paper Alignment Line (d), as shown. Handling Paper > Handling sheets > Loading Sheets in the Printer iPF8157 652
When inserted, sheets are automatically held by suction against the Platen. Important • Load a sheet so that it is parallel to the Paper Alignment Line at right (c). Loading paper askew will cause an error. • Warped paper may rub against the Printhead. Straighten paper if it is warped before loading it. Note • You can adjust the strength of suction holding paper against the Platen when the Release Lever is up. If it is difficult to load paper, press the ▲ or ▼ button on the Control Panel to adjust the strength. Set suction stronger by pressing the ▲ button or weaker with the ▼ button. Three settings are available. However, even if you increase the suction, it may not be sufficient to hold some types of paper against the Platen well. In this case, use your hand to load the paper. • Sheets are held in place by suction through holes on the Platen. Although the suction may produce a noise when paper is loaded in some positions, it does not indicate a problem. If the noise is distract- ing, try moving the paper over slightly to the left or right (up to 1 mm [0.039 in]) while keeping it parallel to the Paper Alignment Line. • The suction remains on for about 30 seconds during loading. If you cannot finish loading a sheet dur- ing this time, pull the sheet away and reinsert it to start the suction again. 3. Lower the Release Lever and close the Top Cover. The printer now starts feeding the paper. After the paper is advanced, the printer automatically goes online and starts printing. If no print job has been received from the computer beforehand, the printer automatically shows a menu for selection of the type of paper on the Display Screen. In this case, select the type of paper. (See "Selecting the Paper Type (Sheet) .") →P.650 Note • When using the Stationary Output Stacker, if you will print on large, stiff sheets, we recommend adjusting the Stationary Output Stacker into the lowest position to prevent printed sheets from being bent.

Setting Width Detection to Off will prevent paper from being automatically advanced to the position for printing. In this case, manually load paper at the position for printing. Instructions for manually loading paper at the position for printing when Width Detection is set to Off are as follows. 1. If you send a print job from a computer beforehand, the type and size of paper are shown on the Display Screen. Lift the Release Lever and open the Top Cover. Important • Do not touch the Linear Scale (a), Carriage Shaft (b), or Ink Tube Stabilizer (c). Touching these parts may damage them.
