3 CROPMARK
This is used when cutting around pre-printed graphics on a material, such as when making stickers or seals. With the CM-500/400/300, a
material is always loaded parallel to the unit. This means that unless the graphics to be cut have been printed parallel to the material, the
cutting lines become shifted from the graphics, and it becomes impossible to accurately cut around the graphics (see Figure A below). If
the printed graphics have crop marks, the positions of the crop marks can be stored in memory and used as reference points by the CM-
500/400/300. By making this setting, it becomes possible to cut around graphics with accuracy even when the graphics have not been
printed parallel to the material (Figure B).
