Setting the Origin Point
If you are using front loading, then when you make the setting for [SELECT SHEET] when loading the material, select either
[ROLL] or [R-EDGE]. The origin-point location and the area where cutting is possible are as shown below. (The figure shows the
case where [AXIS ROTATE] is set to [0 deg].)
[ROLL] Set near the left-hand pinch roller
[R-EDGE] Set at the inner left edge of the material

Material
When "ROLL" is selected
The material is fed toward the front of the machine as cutting proceeds. The area where cutting is possible is to the rear of the origin
point. Even when set to [R-EDGE] or [ROLL], it is necessary to feed the material toward the rear and then set a new origin point to
make the required cutting area available.
When you are using front loading, the [AREA MOVE] feature can be a handy way to make the required cutting area available.
