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.623 • 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.623 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.

Selecting Roll Paper (Auto) in Paper Source in the printer driver enables automatic selection and printing on the roll that suits the print job from the loaded rolls. The printer determines which roll to use based on these conditions, in the following order. Note • If an error message is displayed, neither paper feed slot is loaded with paper suitable for the print job. Check the print job and replace the paper. (See "Removing the Roll from the Printer .") →P.644 Handling Paper > Handling rolls > iPF825 Roll Holder Set 7 661
1. When ManageRemainRoll in the printer menu is set to On, the roll longer than the length of a single page of the print job is used. When ManageRemainRoll is set to Off and both rolls are longer than the print job, the second condition determines which roll is used. Note • When the roll currently advanced is a type of paper that cannot be cut and the printed pages have not been cut, the currently advanced roll is used. • If both rolls are too short, an error message is displayed. 2. Use a type of paper that matches the print job. When both or neither loaded roll matches the type of paper in the print job, the third condition determines which roll is used. Note • When Detect Mismatch in the printer menu is set to Warning or None, the roll is determined by the following conditions. • When neither loaded roll matches the type of paper in the print job and Detect Mismatch in the print- er menu is set to Pause, an error message is displayed. 3. If Roll Switching in the printer menu is set to No RollSwitching, the currently advanced roll is used. If Roll Switching in the printer menu is set to Use Optimal Size, the fourth condition determines which roll is used. 4. When the print job calls for borderless printing, the roll compatible with borderless printing is used. When the print job does not specify borderless printing, or if both rolls are compatible with borderless printing, the fifth condition determines which roll is used. Note • If neither roll is compatible with borderless printing, an error message is displayed. 5. Use a size of paper that matches the width specified in the print job. When both loaded rolls match the width of paper in the print job or the width is not specified in the job, the sixth condition determines which roll is used. When Width Detection is set to Off , the seventh condition determines which roll is used.Note • When neither loaded roll matches the width specified in the print job, an error message is displayed. 6. Use a size of paper that accommodates the width specified in the print job. When both loaded rolls can accommodate the width specified in the print job, the seventh condition determines which roll is used. Note • When Detect Mismatch in the printer menu is set to Warning or None, the roll is determined by the following conditions. • When neither loaded roll is wide enough for the print job and Detect Mismatch in the printer menu is set to Pause, an error message is displayed. 7. The roll closest to the roll width specified in the print job is used. If both rolls are equally close to the specified width, the currently advanced roll is used.
