Figure 23 Suggested Settings For Different Materials; Canceling A Cut; Suggested Settings; Guidelines For Plotting Pens - Ioline Supernova I/S Series User Manual

Canceling a Cut

1. Press the START / STOP key to place the signcutter in STOP
mode (red LED).
2. Cancel the cut from the design software (refer to the design
software manual or consult software dealer) or cancel the cut in
the Control Center software by clicking on the Abort button in
the Send File window. (Note: If this step is skipped the cut will
continue when a new origin is set.)
3. Press the Set Origin key to make the signcutter delete the cut
data it has already received but has not yet plotted.

Suggested Settings

There are many variables that determine signcutter output quality.
Ioline recommends using low force and speed settings when making
the initial test cuts. Gradually increase these settings until the best
values for the material are found. Refer to Figure 23 for settings for
a variety of material types. Force values are provided for starting
reference only. These settings may vary due to manufacturer, color,
age, and temperature of the material.
