HP Designjet Z3100 Photo Printer series - Manual (Page 52)

CAUTION: If the ink is not dry when the print is removed it could leave ink in the output tray and
marks on the print.
NOTE: If you cancel the drying time during a print, the printer may not feed and cut the paper
right away due to the printhead maintenance, which runs in parallel. If the dry time is zero, the
printer cuts the paper and then performs the printhead maintenance. However, if the dry time is
greater than zero, the printer does not cut the paper until after the printhead maintenance has
completed, even if the
Form feed and cut key has been pressed.
Turn the automatic cutter on and off
To turn the printer's paper cutter on or off:
● From HP Easy Printer Care (Windows), select the Settings tab and change the Cutter option in
Printer Settings > Advanced.
● From HP Printer Utility (Mac OS), select Configuration > Printer Settings > Configure Printer
Settings and change the Cutter option.
● From the Embedded Web Server, select the Setup tab, then Printer Settings > Advanced, and
change the Cutter option.
●
Press the Menu key to return to the main menu, select the Setup menu icon , then Printer
Settings > Advanced and change the cutter option.
NOTE: To cut rolled paper while the automatic cutter is disabled, see Feed and cut the paper
on page 42 .
CAUTION: There are some papers that cannot be cut, such as canvas or very thick paper, even
when the Form feed and cut key is pressed.
Feed and cut the paper
To feed and cut the paper when the automatic cutter has been disabled, press the Form feed and cut key
on the front panel. The paper advances and the printer makes a straight cut on the front edge.
NOTE: The printer may not cut the paper directly after the Form feed and cut key is pressed, as
each time a print is printed the printheads are serviced and the paper cannot be cut until the process
completes.
Remove the cut piece from the output tray.
