4. Make the Auto Cut setting. See “Making the Auto Cut setting” 
on page 129.
5. Click OK.
6. Start printing your data from your application.
Making the Auto Cut setting
This setting is available only when Roll Paper or Roll Paper 
(Banner) is selected as the Paper Source setting. You can select 
how the paper is cut after printing. 
Single Cut
Select this setting if you want to save paper. 
If you select this setting, the boundary of a picture or the boundary 
of a page is cut. However, the cut position may shift slightly.
Amount of 
EnlargementWhen you select Auto Expand, the slider becomes 
available. Using the slider, you can control the 
amount of the image that extends beyond the 
edges of the paper during borderless printing.
For most print jobs, Standard is recommended in 
order to eliminate margins on all sides of the paper.
In a very humid environment, the width of paper may 
expand due to moisture absorption. In this case, 
move the slider to Max to eliminate margins around 
the image. If Max is selected, the center of the image 
may move about 1 mm to the right.
Moving the slider towards Min decreases the amount 
of the image enlargement; however, as this amount 
decreases, margins may appear on one or more 
sides of the paper.
 
						

							130Printing with Mac OS 9.x Note:

Select this setting to avoid the slight gap that occurs with the 
Single Cut setting. A margin is created between pictures, and 
1 mm along the inside of each picture is cut.

This setting appears only when the Borderless check box is selected.
