) Feed Priority
Specify exact paper feeding, if desired. Normally, select
Automatic. Choose Print Length if you prefer to feed the
paper an exact amount. However, note that choosing  Print
Length may result in slight banding in the direction of
Carriage scanning.
Adjust Length Displayed if Feed Priority is Print Length.
Adjustment relative to the amount of stretching or shrink-
age of the current paper.
Enter either the adjustment results from  Print Pattern or
the discrepancy that you measured (as a percentage).
For paper that tends to stretch, increase the feed amount
by choosing a higher adjustment value. For paper that
tends to shrink, decrease the feed amount by choosing a
lower adjustment value.
Head Height Adjust the Printhead height.  (See "Troubleshooting Pa-
per Abrasion and Blurry Images (Head Height) .") →P.675
Skew Check Lv. If you print on Japanese paper (washi) or other handmade
paper that has an irregular width, choose  Loose for a high-
er skew detection threshold, or choose  Off to disable skew
detection. However, if paper is loaded askew when detec-
tion is Off, note that paper jams or Platen soiling may oc-
cur.
VacuumStrngth Specify the level of suction that holds paper against the
Platen.   (See "Adjusting the Vacuum Strength (Vac-
uumStrngth) .") →P.683
Width Detection Specify this option to print inside boundaries or in other
cases when specifying a particular starting position for
printing. Paper width and skew are not detected if you se-
lect  Off. If paper is loaded askew, note that paper jams or
Platen soiling may occur.
NearEnd RollMrgn Specify the minimum margin at the leading edge of roll
paper to ensure better printing quality at the leading edge.
Note that if you choose 3mm, it may lower the printing
quality at the leading edge and affect feeding accuracy.
The printed surface may be scratched, and ink may adhere
to the leading edge. It may also cause the Platen to be-
come soiled.
Cut Speed Choose the cutting speed. If you use adhesive paper,
choosing Slow helps prevent adhesive from sticking to the
cutter and keeps the cutter sharp.
Trim Edge First If a roll is loaded, the end of the paper will be cut.
Cutting Mode Specify whether or not to cut with the standard round-bla-
ded cutter.
Choose Automatic to have the roll cut automatically after
printing. If you choose  Manual, the paper will not be cut
after printing. Instead, a line will be printed at the cut po-
sition.
Choose Eject if you prefer not to have documents dropped
immediately after printing, as when waiting for ink to dry.

) Bordless Margin
Choose Automatic to have the printer automatically de-
tect the paper width and configure the margin settings for
borderless printing. If margins are mistakenly created
when Automatic is selected, choose  Fixed. In this case,
the paper width is not detected automatically, and the
document is printed without borders, using the margin set-
tings required by the printer.
CutDustReduct. If you choose On, a line will be printed at the cut position
when paper cutting is selected. This option reduces the
amount of debris given off after cutting. It also helps pre-
vent adhesive from sticking to the cutter and keeps the
cutter sharp if you use adhesive paper.   (See "Reducing
Dust from Cutting Rolls.") →P.648
NearEnd Sht Mrgn Specify a margin at the leading edge of sheets to ensure
better printing quality at the leading edge.
Note that if you choose  3mm, it may lower the printing
quality at the leading edge and affect feeding accuracy.
The printed surface may be scratched, and ink may adhere
to the leading edge.

Conserve Paper Conserves paper when printing.
Auto Rotate If the long side of an original is shorter than the roll width,
the original is automatically rotated 90 degrees to conserve
paper. Similarly, if the long side of an original in landscape
orientation is longer than the roll width and the short side is
shorter than the roll width, the original is repositioned to fit
on the paper.
HP RTL print jobs are not rotated. Because HP RTL images
are not rotated even if the paper is rotated 90 degrees, images
may be cut off or the blank paper may be ejected. In this
