To cut graphics on a P2C Plotter with OPOS
1 After printing your graphic, load the material on the GERBER P2C plotter and from
GSPPlot click on the Cut icon (F8).
2 The job will be sent to the plotter and the plotter will read: "Set Sensor Above First
Marker"
3 Use the slew key to set OPOS above the first target. Push the Enter key on the plotter.
The plotter will search for the first target, and then slew the material for the job out. It
will then locate the first target again. It will then search for the second, third and
fourth targets, and then cut the job followed by the weed border.
Tip: For detailed information on contour cutting Gerber Jetster or Gerber ELAN XL graphics
using a P2C Plotter see the Fast Facts on the OMEGA installation CD.
Strategically placing and aligning multiple targets
In OMEGA you now have the ability to print multiple targets for precision cutting. You can also
strategically place targets #2 and #4 (in a 4-target configuration) to make it easier to align the
plotter to the top targets. The procedure for aligning the targets varies depending on the plotter
you are using to cut your print. It also varies on the number of targets that you choose in the
job. For enVision and FasTrack plotters the Illuminated Target Locator can be used to make it
easier to align the targets. For ODYSSEY plotters use either the Illuminated Target Locator or
the eyepiece for aligning the targets.
Placing targets #2 and #4
An edit control box, Top Limit has been added to the Target Configuration dialog box. The
value you set here will be used as a Y-distance restriction from targets #1 and #3. For example, if
the height of your job is 34 inches, you might want to set the Top Limit at 30 inches for target #2
and #4 (the minimum allowed is half the height of the job.) That means targets #2 and #4 will
print 4 inches closer to targets #1 and #3. This will make it easier to reach the control panel of
the plotter you are using.
Note: When determining the value for Top Limit, set the new value close enough to make it
easier to reach the control panel but try to keep it close to the original setting so the target
alignment is still accurate.
