MENU
Determining the type of sheet loaded
SELECT
This selects the type of sheet to be used ("Roll," "Edge," or "PIECE").
SHEET
Setting cutting conditions
It is possible to set the cutting parameters (plotting parameters) to match
the tool and sheet (pen and paper condition), and store them for later use.
1—8
Five items can be stored: cutting speed , blade compensation, blade force,
tool movement speed during tool-up, and CUT QUALITY. These settings
can be stored in memory as eight patterns (numbered 1 through 8).
This sets the speed blade for during cutting. Perform a cutting test and set
** cm/s
the conditions to match the loaded sheet and the installed cutter.
This sets the amount of offset for the blade during cutting. Perform a
cutting test and set the conditions to match the loaded sheet and the
*.**mm
installed cutter. When using the included test sheet and blade or
equivalent parts, cutting can be performed using the factory-default
settings.
This sets the force for the blade during cutting. Perform a cutting test and
**gf
set the conditions to match the loaded sheet and the installed cutter.
If you want the curves of circles and arcs to be cut smoothly, set this to
SMOOTH-
"ON." When on, however, small text or intricate designs may also be cut
ING with rounded corners. If this happens, change the setting to "OFF" and

Rotating the origin point
This rotates the cutting coordinate origin by 90 degrees.
normally set to "0deg," which means that the origin is at the bottom left
2
of the sheet. Setting this to "90deg" moves the origin to the bottom
AXIS
right of the sheet, thereby rotating the cutting pattern by 90 degrees.
ROTATION
* Don't forget that the coordinate axis changes when the origin is
rotated.
