Page Mode
The page mode determines the cutter's reaction to a PAGE command sent by the cutting
software. The PAGE command is used to relocate the origin after a job is finished and can
take control remotely of the cutter's automatic sheet-off feature. Sheeting-off automatically,
without user intervention, is a feature which is unique to Mutoh cutting-plotters and which
enhances the cutter's versatility and overall performance enormously.
A page-command looks like this: "PG;" or "PGN;" with "n" a number in millimetres.
If the PAGE command "PG;" is sent, the cutter will automatically sheet of regardless of the
Page mode, minimizing the loss of vinyl.
If the PAGE command "PGN;" is sent, the number mentioned after the PG command will be
interpreted differently, depending on the page mode you have chosen:

Page Mode 0

The number after the page command is ignored. The media will be cut 5 mm (0.2") after the
latest down-vector. The new cutting limit will be located 0.5 (0.2") from the lower media
border.
Page Mode 1
The new origin is located "n" millimetres beyond the last down-vector that was sent.
Page Mode 2
The new origin is located "n" millimetres beyond the previous origin position.
92
"PGN" is sent (n is a number in mm).
A: Original origin
B: End point last vector
C: New origin with Page Mode 1
D: New origin with Page Mode 2
