Model Dimension
For borderless print, right and left margins are 3mm each because skew detection
limit is 3mm. If the distance from the paper edge to the platen (sponge width) is
less than 3mm, the maximum surplus print quantity without ink discharge onto the
platen (0mm~3mm) is printable area.
Paper Feed Direction
Printable Area
The printer detects paper width when paper is set. (If paper width detection setting
is OFF, it does not detect paper width.)
It does not print the image beyond the detected paper width or the printable area
specified by paper size setting.
(It may print on the platen if paper width detection setting is OFF.)
Margins of roll paper can be changed on the panel as follows;
Top/bottom 15 mm, left/right 3 mm
Top/bottom/left/right 3 mm
Top/bottom/left/right 15 mm
NOTE:
Under special conditions, it is possible to set right and left margin (LM,
RM) to 0.

1.2.6.3 Cutting Specification
There are two methods to cut roll paper, automatic and manual cutting.
C A U T I O N
AUTOMATIC CUTTING OF ROLL MEDIA
Automatic cutting under the following conditions can only be performed on the
approved media.
Mechanical conditions
Distance between cut position and paper setting position: L0=167mm
Distance between cut position and cutter mark: L1= 44mm
Minimum cut length (same as paper edge waiting position): L2=030mm
Do not use the auto cutting function with any paper for which auto
cutting is prohibited; otherwise, the head would be damaged.
Table 1-17. Cutting Conditions and Cutting Methods
Cut condition Cut method
Initial cut (Cut with pushing “Cut/Eject” button after paper
is set, and set lever is pushed down.)
Cut after print completed by driver
Initial cut during printing
Initial cut during normal waiting status
Initial cut with Auto cut ON after print with Auto cut OFF.
Cut with Paper width detection OFF 3-step cut always (100cps fixed)
Note : Cutting pressure at high speed can be changed.
Cutting pressure at low speed is “Duty: 45%” fixed.
Paper edge waiting position is fed L2 for initial cut.
Paper is fed for L1 length and cut in 4 steps.
(50cps)
4-step cut (200cps) When paper is shorter
than L2, it is cut after feeding L2.
Cut during printing is not allowed with this
printer. (Product specification)
Paper is fed for L1 length and cut in 4 steps.
(50cps)
4-step cut (200cps), when paper is longer
than L2. 4-step cut (50cps) after feeding L2,
when paper is shorter than L2.

1.2.9.4 Surrounding Space
Provide the printer with an enough surrounding space to ensure proper installation of
accessories and replacement of consumables and easy work for daily maintenance.
From the front of the printer: 60 cm or more
From the rear and both sides of the printer: 15 cm or more
When Stylus Pro 7600 is not equipped with the dedicated stand:
Stylus Pro 7600 ejects paper downward. To prevent the ejected paper from
being obstructed, install the printer on a table or desk 60 to 80 cm high above
the floor and provide the printer with a 60 cm or more space in front.
In doing so, locate the front rubber feet of the printer close to the front end of
the table or the desk.
