Printing Options Using Rolls and Sheets

The printer supports both rolls and sheets.

This section introduces the main features of each, as well as the main printing methods available. Select rolls or sheets

to suit your particular printing application.

Note

• For information on the types of paper the printer supports, refer to the Paper Reference Guide. (See "Types of Paper.")

→P.438

• A variety of other ways to print are available besides those introduced here. Choose the printing method that suits your partic-

ular printing application, referring to "Working with Various Print Jobs" and "Enhanced Printing Options" from the table of con-

tents.

Roll printing

Media in spooled rolls is generally called Roll Media. Rolls are loaded on the Roll Holder, which are in turn loaded in

the printer.

Rolls can be used to print large photos or create posters or banners that cannot be printed on regular sheets.

•

Large-format printing

Easily print vertical or horizontal banners from familiar applications such as Microsoft Office applications.

(See "Printing Vertical or Horizontal Banners (Large-Format Printing).") →P.110

•

Borderless printing

Print without a margin (border) around posters or photos.

(See "Borderless Printing on Paper of Equivalent Size.") →P.97

(See "Borderless Printing by Resizing Originals to Fit the Roll Width.") →P.103

(See "Borderless Printing at Actual Size.") →P.90

•

Banner printing

You can print multiple pages as a single continuous image, without margins between pages.

(See "Printing Multiple Pages Continuously.") →P.129

•

90-degree rotation before printing

Originals in portrait orientation are rotated 90 degrees when possible to use paper more efficiently.

(See "Conserving Roll Paper by Rotating Originals 90 Degrees.") →P.152

•

Enlarged/reduced printing

You can freely adjust the size of originals by enlarging or reducing originals before printing.

(See "Resizing Originals to Match the Paper Size.") →P.70

(See "Resizing Originals to Fit the Roll Width.") →P.74

(See "Resizing Originals by Entering a Scaling Value.") →P.80

•

Free Layout function

Print multiple documents from multiple applications (such as word-processing programs, spreadsheet programs,

and so on) next to each other.

(See "Printing Multiple Originals Next to Each Other.") →P.125

Sheet printing

Sheets refer to individual sheets of paper.

If ERROR is shown on the Display Screen

see "Error messages." →P.684

•

The Power Lamp and Message Lamp are not lit (even once), and nothing appears on the Display Screen

Make sure the printer is plugged in correctly. Check the connection at the plug and electrical outlet.

•

No paper is loaded

Load paper. (See "Loading and Printing on Rolls.") →P.21 (See "Loading and Printing on Sheets.")

→P.24

Important

• Starting the printer when it is connected via the USB cable to a Macintosh computer that is off may cause the computer to

start up at the same time. To prevent this, disconnect the USB cable before starting the printer. Connecting the printer to the

computer via a USB hub may solve this issue.

Turning the printer off

Important

• Never disconnect the printer's power supply or unplug it during a print job. This may damage the printer.

1

Make sure no print jobs are in progress.

If the Message Lamp is flashing, check the message on the
