3: When printing off both left and right edges of the media, the bleed on both sides is set to
3 mm as the automatic skew detection functio n can sense 3 mm or more horizontal shift
of the media during printing. If the printer detects that the bleeding width (from left or
right edge of media to the platen edge) is less than 3 mm, it reduces the bleed print
amount to avoid printing on the platen.

each cut position including the one for cutting the top edge.
"*2": After the 4 sides borderless cut, the actual printed size is approximately 2mm smaller
in the vertical direction.
"*3": When roll paper borderless print for 4 sides is performed on the media types shown
below, irregular coloring may occur when the edges are cut.
• Double Weight Matte Paper
• Single Weight Matte Paper
• Enhanced Matte Paper
• Textured Fine Art Paper
• Ultra Smooth Fine Art Paper
Left and right margins can be set to zero. In this case the upper and
lower margins are set by the roll paper margin settings.
Cuts the top and bottom edges in the way as described below to
create a printout without margins on all four sides:
• The top edge of the first page is cut off leaving “minimum cut
margin”.during the printing.
• No margin is created between pages and the printer cuts on the
boundary to separate the pages.
• The bottom edge of the last page is cut off after the printing is
complete.
Cuts the top and bottom edges in the way as described below to
create a printout without margins on all four sides.
• The top edge of the first page is cut off leaving “auto refresh
margin” during the printing.
• Each time printing one page is complete, the bottom edge is cut
off and the paper is fed a little (create a minimum cut margin
between pages), and the top edge of the next page is cut off
during printing. This mode is more accurate than the Single Cut
mode as it cuts the paper twice to separate pages.

first page is cut by
interrupting the printing
operation, off-registration
may occur causing
irregular color on the
printed image depending
on the print job.
• As this mode cuts the
paper on the boundary of
pages, slight amount of
image of the previous or
the next page may be left
on the top or bottom edge
of the printout due to
cutter position deviation.
4 sides borderless
Double Cut
• Borderless print
• Double Cut
• As the top edge of the
first page is cut by
interrupting the printing
operation, off-registration
may occur causing
irregular color on the
printed image depending
on the print job.
• The cutting position is set
to a line 1 mm inside from
the actual top and bottom
edges allowing for cutter
position deviation. So the
length of the printout
becomes about 2mm
smaller than the specified
size.
Borderless printing guarantee conditions
Environmental:
Temperature: 59 to 77ºF (15 to 25 ºC), Humidity: 40 to 60 % RH
NOTE "*1": There are no borderless printing guarantees for cut sheet paper.
"*2": Borderless printing is not guaranteed if a number of outer layers of th e
roll surface have stretched due to moisture absorption.
"*3": Borderless printing on media and sizes other than those listed above are
guaranteed the same way as the Stylus Pro 7600/9600 do. However, if
media that has been stretched by humidity and other environmental
conditions is used, it is possible that borders on the right and left hand
sides may occur.
Bleeding print width for pri nti ng off both left and right edges
The bleeding print width for the left and right edges can be selected among the
following settings using the printer driver.
Left (opposite home side) = 1.5mm/ Right (home side) = 1.5mm
Left (opposite home side) = 3.0mm/ Right (home side) = 3.0mm (Default)
Left (opposite home side) = 5.0mm/ Right (home side) = 3.0mm *
NOTE "*1": If humid environmental conditions have caused the media to stretch,
“Left (opposite home side) = 5.0mm/ Right (home side) = 3.0mm”
selection is recommended to prevent left and right edge margins
occurring.
"*2": The “Left (opposite home side) = 5.0mm/ Right (home side) = 3.0mm”
setting shifts the center position of the image 1 mm away from that of
the print data.

1.4.4.4 Platen Gap
This function allows you to select a gap between the printhead and paper (platen) from
the five options (narrow, standard, wide, wider, widest). The platen gap set in the
Custom Paper menu for the user-defined paper type (other than standard) has the
higher priority than that made by this Platen Gap menu. If, however, the paper
thickness sensor detects the paper as over 0.81mm, the platen gap is automatically set
to the Widest. The table below shows the details of the five option.

This menu allows you to print or not print a page lines (cutoff lines). The page line, a
black solid line with 1 dot width, cannot be printed on cut sheet media (only for roll
paper). This setting, however, is ignored when a print job is made by the printer driver
(printer driver settings has the priority). If the paper width setting of the printer driver
is narrower than that of roll paper loaded on the printer, a vertical page line is printed
on the paper as the right edge of the paper size specified by the driver.
The page line is printed in the same resolution with the image.
NOTE: The vertical page line is not printed when the print job is sent without
specifying the paper size (horizontal page lines can be printed.)

1.4.4.9 Page Size Check
The printer automatically detects the width of loaded media if this function is set to
ON. Disabling this (setting it to OFF) is not recommended especially when performing
a Borderless printing because the printer performs a print job even if the specified print
size (width) is bigger than the width of the loaded paper and result in printing directly
on the platen.
When paper initializing or print starting, for distance between grid roller and #1 nozzle,
paper is fed unconditionally. The print starts from the position. (N o back-feed with
other sequences) Although the paper that is under grid roller will be wasteful, place
emphasis on printing even for low reflection paper.
Cut sheets and auto loading have same specification.
The above paper width detection OFF sequence is just for the first page in case of roll
paper. Paper auto cutting is not checked whether it cuts off or not.
If this function is set to OFF, the Paper Skew Check for a cut sheet at the time it is
loaded is not performed.

1.4.4.10 Paper Skew Check
When this is set to “ON”, the printer automatically detects that a paper is loaded or fed
at an angle and causes a paper skew error. If this is set to OFF, the error does not occur
and printing is continued even if the paper is loaded at an angle or skewed during
printing causing a off-paper printing. Although this menu is disabled when “cut sheet”
is selected as paper source, the printer can detect a skewed cut sheet when starting
printing if the Paper Size Check function is set to ON. If a cut sheet is skewed during
printing, however, it cannot be detected.

1.4.4.12 Cutter Adjustment
This menu is provided to adjust a position to cut top and bottom edges of media to
produce a full-bleed print on all four sides (Borderless print). So, the menu is enabled
only when the “Roll Auto Cut ON” is selecte d as paper source.
When you press the [Enter] button with the EXECUTE highlighted, the printer prints a
cutter position adjustment pattern and cuts the pattern at its center. The adjustment can
be made simply by entering a number printed with the most accurately cut block
pattern into the entry screen.
If you select this menu with the paper source set to other than the “Roll Auto Cut ON”,
the printer stops to operate displaying a message "Commanded Function Can Not Be
Executed” for three seconds, and then returns to the Printer Setup menu screen.
Cutter position adjust ment pattern
The pattern is comprised of 17 two-toned blocks as shown in the figure below. The
blocks of exactly the same size are neatly aligned and the boundary of the two
colors on them is slightly shifted by each block. They are cut off at their horizontal
center. The difference in color between the upper and lower portions of each block
makes it easier to find out which one is most accurately cut on the boundary of the
two colors.

This function is used to feed paper by the amount of “minimum cut length” and cut it
before starting the next print job after making a 4-side borderless print. Ink smudges or

function is useful when performing a lot of print jobs taking many hours or a day and
the user has no time to check the nozzle clogging.
A JS command triggers the “Auto Nozzle Check”. The printer does not perform the
check if the print job does not include the JS command. When the printer runs out of
paper at the time of the “Auto Nozzle Check”, it causes “Paper Out” error and waits
paper for being loaded.

1.4.4.15 Auto Cleaning
The printer automatically runs a head cleaning when this is set to ON. If the “Auto
Nozzle Check” is also set to ON, the printer prints an Auto Nozzle Check pattern to
examine the pattern and runs the cleaning depending on the result before starting each
job. If you perform the Nozzle Check function in the TEST PRINT of the Panel Setting
menu with the Auto Cleaning set to ON, the automatic cleaning sequence; printing an
Auto Nozzle Check pattern, examining the pattern, and running a head cleaning, is
performed. If the Auto Cleaning is set to OFF when you conduct the Nozzle Check, a
pattern for manual nozzle check is printed. When performing the Nozzle Check using
the printer driver or utility, automatic cutting operation after printing the check pattern
is performed according to the Auto Cut setting of the printer.
NOTE: If the width of media loaded in the printer is smaller than that of A4-size,
the Auto Nozzle Check pattern is printed but not examined automatically.

1.4.4.16 Quiet Cut
The “Quiet Cut” enables the slowest cutting mode (20 CPS). The default is OFF. This

For cutting operation to create a 4-side borderless print, however, this setting cannot be
used because the slower the cutting speed is the more likely to cause off-registration.

C H E C K
P O I N T
This life counter should be used as a guideline. As the actual life of
the cutter varies depending on various factors, it must be replaced
on the basis of observed conditions.
CR Motor life
Calculation method
The life of the CR motor is regarded as that of the Ink Supply Tube because a
malfunction of the tube due to its wear can cause a serious failure of the CR
motor. The guaranteed life of the Ink Supply Tube is defined by the number of
Carriage movement cycles, so the remaining amount of the CR motor life is
obtained based on the Carriage movement cycles.

PF Motor life
Calculation method
The PF motor and any other parts or components in the paper feed mechanism
are not required to be replaced within the lifespan of the printer. This counter
can be used to troubleshoot a problem when the printer is used beyond its
service life. The remaining ratio is obtained based on a cumulative travel
distance of the PF motor.

Head Unit life
Calculation method
The total life of the unit is calculated by multiplying the guaranteed number of
shots for each color nozzle by 180 nozzles. The printer counts the shooting
number of times by each color rounding the value by 2
calculates the remaining ratio of the unit life based on the total life and the
maximum cumulative shots among the all color nozzles.

errors. The printer displays the error message for three seconds
and returns to the MAINTENANCE” menu screen.
• Ink end.
• Ink cart ridge mo del wrong.
• CSIC cont act error.
• Ink cartridge failure.
• No ink cartridge.
• When th ick paper is set .
Correcting improper cutter installation
* The “x” value is 240 cps or 14.42 micron meters in VSD2 mode.
The value is saved on the NVRAM, and is left changeable.
Example) Gap adjustment when paper thickness is 0.2mm
The printer runs a cutter failure confirmation sequence (displays confirmation
messages or instructions to inform the user to check the cutter) under the following
conditions.
When a cutting error is detected for the first time after replacing the cutter.
When a cutting error is detected for the first time after a paper jam-related
service call error occurs.
When a cutting error is detected for the first time after the printer runs the

1.4.4.34 BK Ink Change
This menu is provided for the Stylus Pro 7800/7880/7880C/9800/9880/9880C. The
printer displays instructions for replacing the Photo or Matte black cartridge with the
other one on the LCD panel in accordance with operations made by the user.
NOTE: The Stylus Pro 7400/7450/9400/9450 are not equipped with this
function. However, replacing the Matte black cartridge with Photo black
one is available. (the printers display a confirmation message when the
Photo black is inserted.) Note that the panel display and the status sheet
do not reflect the ink change. The name of the black ink remains as
“Matte black” even after replacing it with Photo black.
1.4.4.35 Power Cleaning
The “Power Cleaning” is a function to clean the printhead more powerfully than
normal head cleaning. As this includes cleaning the choke, an operator is required to
move the ink lever in accordance with the panel message.
Power Cleaning Triggers
“Power Cleaning” is displayed on the LCD when any one of the following
conditions are met.
After executing manual cleaning three times in a row.
When the printer is turned On after a lapse of 20 days or longer from the last
Power Cleaning.
When the printer is turned On after an interval of one month or longer.
1.4.4.36 Clock Setting
This menu allows the user to set current date and time to correct the time difference.
The set time is compared to the absolute control time maintained by the RTC power
source, and the printer maintains the set time by keeping the difference between them.
The set time is used for the Job Information.
This time setting is disabled if the time synchronization is adopted by the TypeB
interface. And it is also disabled when the NTP is using the time synchronization
(when date and time is entered, an error message is displayed for three seconds and the
printer returns to the MAINTENANCE menu screen .)
1.4.4.37 Contrast Adjustment
The contrast of the LCD panel can be adjusted by this menu. The adjustable range is
plus or minus 20 levels from the center value. The level decreases or increases by 1
level each time the [Paper Feed ( )] button is pressed.
NOTE: If a “Maintenance Tank Near Full” or “Ink Low” error occurs after
performing the cleaning, press the [Enter ] button. The printer displays
the error message for three seconds and then returns to the menu screen.
If the Maintenance Tank error occurs during the cleaning, the cleaning is
interrupted and cannot be continued unless taking a corrective action
(replacing the tank or etc.).

Adjustment Method
The printer calculates the Uni-D and Bi-D correction values based on the “Head
Alignment” result, Platen Gap setting and the paper thickness.The correction
values are classified by five Platen Gap settings (0.8mm/1.2mm/1.5mm/2.1mm/
2.6mm) and stored on the NVRAM to create a table to be referred to from that
time. The setting table is rewritten each time the adjustments are made.
The table below shows how the printer stores the settings.
