Trim Printing
What Is Trim Printing?
If Trimmer Unit TU-510 is mounted, trimming will be applied to copy jobs or print jobs in the same way as printing.
You can register advanced settings for the trimming function in advance as a trimmer profile. You can recall and apply the trimmer profiles as and when needed to streamline the performing of trimming operations. For details about the trimmer profile, refer to [Trimmer Profile].
NOTICE
- Specifications of Trimmer Unit TU-510 vary depending on the production period. For details, refer to Trimmer Unit TU-510.
Tips
- For details about the available paper sizes and other specifications, refer to [Trimmer Profile] or Trimmer Unit TU-510.

Decide the setting values for [Leading Edge] (C1) and [Rear Edge] (S1) as the starting points for the base points, as shown in the figure. Set the cutting position so that the size of the paper being used is cut to the desired finish size.
Tips
- There are limits on the setting values for [Finished Size(Height)] (a) or [Finished Size(Width)] (b), [Leading Edge] (C1), [Rear Edge] (S1). For details about limitations, refer to the "Four Edge Trim / Crease Limitations" (described after the procedure).

Multiple Cutting
This section describes how to configure trimmer profiles for multiple cutting.
1
Click [Create].
2
Configure and set the [Profile Name] or [Cut Type] ([Multiple Cutting]), [Paper Size], [Unit].
Available paper sizes: Widthwise 140.0 mm to 330.2 mm, Lengthwise 266.0 mm to 487.7 mm/Widthwise 5.51" to 13", Lengthwise 10.47" to 19.20" (Widthwise 313.0 mm to 330.2 mm, Lengthwise 440.0 mm to 459.0 mm/Widthwise 12.32" to 13", Lengthwise 17.32" to 18.07" (When creating A4), Widthwise 295.4 mm to 330.2 mm, Lengthwise 451.8 mm to 470.8 mm/Widthwise 11.63" to 13", Lengthwise 17.79" to 18.54" (When creating Letter))
3
Select [Finished Size] (A4 or LTR).
4
Enter the [Leading Edge] (amount of the lead edge to be cut), [Rear Edge] (amount of top edge to be cut), and [Cut Width(lengthwise)].
Decide the setting values for [Leading Edge] (C1), [Rear Edge] (S1), and [Cut Width(lengthwise)] (C3) as the starting points for the base points, as shown in the figure. Set the cutting position so that the size of the paper being used is cut to the desired finish size.
Tips
- There are limits on the setting values for [Leading Edge] (C1) or [Rear Edge] (S1), [Cut Width(lengthwise)] (C3). For details about limitations, refer to the "Multiple Cutting Limitations" (described after the procedure).
- Some items allow you to change the limits of the setting values. For changes, contact your service representative.
- An error message will be displayed when a value that does not fall within the applicable range is set, and hence the trimmer profile cannot be created. If an error message is displayed, check the input value or change the paper size being used. For details about the available paper size, refer to "Allowable Paper Sizes" (described after the procedure).
- When you enter [Leading Edge] (C1) and [Rear Edge] (S1), [Trailing Edge] (C2) and [Front Edge] (S2) are set automatically. Exceeding the [Trailing Edge] and [Front Edge] limitations will also result in an error. Be sure to take note of the limitations for each of the various setting values.

Card Cutting
This section describes how to configure trimmer profiles for card cutting.

Click [Create].
2
Configure and set the [Profile Name] or [Cut Type] ([Card Cutting]), [Paper Size], [Unit].
Usable Paper Size: (Width) 287.0 mm to 330.2 mm, (Length) 370.0 mm to 457.2 mm / (Width) 11.30" to 13", (Length) 14.57" to 18"
3
Enter the [Finished Size(Height)] and [Finished Size(Width)].
4
Enter the [Leading Edge] (amount of the lead edge to be cut), [Rear Edge] (amount of top edge to be cut), and [Cut Width(lengthwise)].
Decide the setting values for [Leading Edge] (C1), [Rear Edge] (S1), and [Cut Width(lengthwise)] (C3) as the starting points for the base points, as shown in the figure. Set the cutting position so that the size of the paper being used is cut to the desired finish size.
Tips
- There are limits on the setting values for [Finished Size(Height)] (a) or [Finished Size(Width)] (b), [Leading Edge] (C1), [Rear Edge] (S1), [Cut Width(lengthwise)] (C3). For details about limitations, refer to the "Card Cutting Limitations" (described after the procedure).
- Some items allow you to change the limits of the setting values. For changes, contact your service representative.
- An error message will be displayed when a value that does not fall within the applicable range is set, and hence the trimmer profile cannot be created. If an error message is displayed, check the setting values or change the paper size being used. For details about the available paper size, refer to "Allowable Paper Sizes" (described after the procedure).
- When you enter [Leading Edge] (C1) and [Rear Edge] (S1), [Trailing Edge] (C2) and [Front Edge] (S2) are set automatically. Exceeding the [Trailing Edge] and [Front Edge] limitations will also result in an error. Be sure to take note of the limitations for each of the various setting values.
- [Cut Width(crosswise)] (C4) is fixed at 8 mm.
- If the paper size is SRA3 or 12 e 18, the maximum number of cards that can be created is 3 e 7 rows = 21 cards.
