Adjusting The Cutting-In Amount - Roland VersaUV LEC-300A User Manual

Adjusting the Cutting-in Amount

When you want to perform accurate and fine adjustment of the cutting-in amount, such as when cutting
media with thin carrier paper, you can obtain good results by adjusting the tip of the blade. Turn the cap
portion of the blade holder to adjust the amount of blade extension. Each indicator tick corresponds
to 0.1 millimeters, and adjustment for 0.5 millimeters can be made by rotating the cap one full turn.
Rough Estimate for the Amount of Blade Extension
Use the following dimension as a rough estimate for setting the amount of blade extension.
Amount of blade
extension
Material portion
Carrier-paper portion
Note that making the amount of blade extension too small may cause the end of the cap
for the blade holder to touch and damage the printed surface. It's important to be espe-
cially careful about this when you're using media that has poor ink-adhesion properties.
