Tips

- If printer reports "Print Head Path Error 2", check the (Illustrator) file to see if it has elements that need to be trimmed to fit within the artboard.
- The media profile for "Canvas" does not allow cutting at the end of the job (or even manually), just use the scissors instead.

For Additional Help
