When using the roll feed does the machine automatically cut each sheet or do you need to do that manually?

It's automatically cutting roll paper each time when the printing job is done.It's a wonderful printer and good price too...

Short answer: Yes, Its Automatic. When printing from roll for example a sheet of 24x36 after the sheet comes down the printer there is a blade that slides for 24" across the roll and cuts the paper horizontally at the 36" mark. Also another thing to consider is that you have to "reload" the roll every time you switch between "multi-sheet tray" and the roll. The roll stays on top you just have to feed it back to the receiver but it automatically checks for paper skew and could take a minute or so and also cuts a small piece sometimes to align the paper perfectly. could be wasteful if you constantly switch between the tray and the roll.

You don't need to cut the paper, it's autistic. It's a wonderful printer...

Yes, it feeds the sheet through to print the backside first, then sucks it back in and prints on the other side. If you have a multiple-page job and print on both sides you end up with everything in the order you'd expect once it's finished.

Run time ? Don't understand. will cut one sheet at a time. It needs to cool off after 15 sheets.

I don't have a problem but the line only feeds out about a quarter of an inch every time you start it so it may have to be left to stop and then restart it several times so that more line can feed out again. The line only feeds out in increments. I never have to manually pull it out.

Without the roll feeder, it works best on single sheets of media. I recommend the cutting mat for most media, the rollers can't be trusted to hold all things firmly enough. Definitely research cutting mat care and preservation as this can become one of the more expensive aspects using the Silhouette.

It is a stack cutter. Should cut up to 500 sheets of 20lb copy. Since it is a inexpensive cutter I never have it cut more than half that since I would rather not break it or have it make a wonky cut. The clamp that tightens down paper is narrow and so paper tends to bunch or slip.

No. Not automatic. You have to print one side and then turn the papers over and print the other side.

it does not, but you can still use them and cut them to size without having the roll "stored" in the machine.

It has small blades at the bobbin case and at the bobbin winder shaft to cut the thread the proper length. Of course you have to watch to make sure it goes like it should. I wouldn't call this an auto but close I think they call it a built-in thread cutter for you to use. It probably would cut the thread off anyway because the thread is at the location. I use it so I don't know.

Yes, it works very well --- however, and it is a BIG however - every time you want to switch paper, ie from legal to letter you must reset the print settings to the proper tray. So, it is not automatic - you must select the tray. I do find it better than removing the paper and inserting a different size.

I find that I can cut about 5 sheets of card stock cleanly before the edges start fraying instead of cleaving. I haven't attempted dividing up a sheet with the kind of accuracy you're describing. Sorry.

I just buy standard full size sheets and split them into quarters. They clamp in on both sides. I wouldn't waste your money on the pre cut sheets.

There is a lever that separates the rollers in order to pull out a jammed paper. I think using that button caused my machine to lose tension on the rollers though. This machine didn't even last me through the hot pockets it came with!

Cutting one or two sheets with a paper cutter like this is like swatting flies with a shotgun. Mine tends to just crease the paper if I don't have a big stack, but that may be because I've cut so many big stacks with it. For lighter work, I recommend one of the Fiskars paper cutters, like this one: Fiskars 12 Inch Portable Scrapbooking Trimmer (196920-1001)

It's automatic. The line feeds out the correct length while the trimmer is operating.

it will not cut completely if the pasta is too moist. IF the pasta is the right consistency it cuts well, but if I get a batch too moist, I will lay out the rolled sheet, and roll another, and a third. By this time, the first sheet has dried a bit, and when I put it through the cutter, it cuts completely. When doing the first step of putting the dough through the rollers at the widest setting, do this at least 6-7 times to work the dough and if needed, you can add a bit of flour if too moist. then when a good/elastic dough, start dialing down to a thinner and thinner sheet of dough. Again, set it aside while you do this with another sheet, and possibly a third before cutting. it will not cut completely if the pasta is too moist.

yes it does come with a cutter system, the output sizes are defined by the paper size you intend to use.
