Stencil Cutting

Stencil material (Tag Board) is handled much the same as vinyl with

the important exception of using much higher force.

Select Tag Board Cutout in the Ioline Control Center. Make

sure that Pounce is turned off. Put the signcutter in START

mode (green LED on). Update the signcutter with the Send Set-

tings (temporary or permanent) buttons.

Slide the paper roll onto a media roller (use the roller as an

axle). Ioline does not recommend using two media rollers to

cradle tag board rolls.

Enable Autoloop or create a service loop of material.

Install a blade holder in the carriage.

Perform test cuts to establish blade exposure and Force set-

tings. See the section Adjusting Blade Exposure and Force for

the proper procedure. Most tag board cuts are made at or near

maximum force (400 grams). Check the Control Center for the

maximum force setting. Adjust as necessary. See the Suggested

Settings in Figure 23 for more details.

A Tag Board Cut is intermittent - a long cut length followed

by a short uncut segment. The default length is 2000 mils (2.0

inches) for the cut and 60 mils (.06 inches) for the blank. The

lengths of the cuts and blanks are adjustable with the Control

Center. Perform test cuts to determine the proper settings for

these parameters. See the section describing the Ioline Control

Center for more details on adjusting the cut and blank settings.
