    IMPORTANT

    Separation Operations

    • When performing separation, do not use [▲] to pull the media back. If the distance from the end of the media to the separation location is short, separation may not be performed smoothly.
    Give Attention to the Media Composition
    • For some types of media, separation is not possible.
    • Some types of media may remain on the platen after separation. If the media remains on the platen, remove it by hand.
