1.5.3 Media load procedure

CAUTION: Do not place any objects in front of, or behind, the cutter that could interfere with
cutter operation. Make sure the media is free to move forward and back. Keep hands, hair,
clothing and jewelry away from moving parts.
While the cutter is on, it will automatically start executing a minimal loading procedure as
soon as the pinch rollers are lowered. The load procedure will also start when the cutter is
switched on while media is already in the machine and the pinch rollers are in the "down"
position (this is not recommended). Always keep the pinch rollers in the up position while
the cutter is not being used.
The minimal loading procedure consists of:
A media width measurement.
Media is unwound over a length equal to the width measured between the outer
two pinch rollers.
A simultaneous 45° axial move of the drive drum (sleeves) and cutting head.
After that, the cutter is ready to receive files from the computer.
When receiving a job from the computer, the cutter will automatically pull the required
media from the roll. It does this in steps and the length of the vinyl used is equal to a
number of times the measured width of the media.
This load procedure is sufficient in most of the cases; however they are some extra load
features available.
Each keystroke can initiate an internal test or movement of head or media.
Keep fingers and other body parts away from the cutting area.
There are hazardous moving parts.
