1-1 Machine F eatur es
The mac hine is the "Print & Cut" machine that combines the two functions of high-quality printing and outline cutting
in a single unit. This makes possible not only use as either a printer or a cutting machine, but also enables versatile
uses such as performing printing followed immediately by cutting, without having to first remove the media from the
machine.
The machine is pro vided with a crop-mark feature. This makes possible accurate alignment when you w ant to remove
the media after printing, perform lamination or other processing, then load the media again to perform cutting.
Also, two heaters are built in: a print heater and a dryer. These help to fix and dry the ink, thereby enhancing work
efficiency. The temperature setting for each can be preset to match the ambient environment and the media used.
With these features, the machine can accommodate a wide variety of uses, ranging from the creation of stickers and
cut-out text and small-lot label printing to the production of panels, outdoor signs, and more.

The Power-saving F eature
This machine is provided with a po wer -sa ving feature that switches to a lo w-power "sleep mode" when a fixed interv al
passes with no operation. The factory default for the time after which the machine switches to the sleep mode is 30
minutes.
You can change the setting for the time of the shift to the sleep mode. You can also switch off the power-sa ving feature.
☞
p 75 "Setting the Interval until Activation of the Sleep Mode," p 76 "Deactivating the Sleep Mode"
When the machine is in the sleep mode, the POWER light flashes slowly and the print heater and dryer stop. Using the
control panel or performing operations such as sending printing data from the computer (when media is loaded)
restore the machine to its normal mode.
To reduce power consumption and prevent problems such as overheating, we recommend leaving the power-saving
feature on and setting the activation time for the sleep mode to 30 minutes or less.
