4.3 Cutting Force and Offset Adjustment

Before sending your designs for cutting, you may perform a "cut test" to generate satisfactory cutting
results. The "Cut Test" should be repeated until the appropriate cutting conditions for the media are
discovered.
After sizing the media, press [CUT TEST] button to select the "square cut", and press [ENTER KEY] to
confirm.
The default cutting force and offset value of the cutting test are 80gf and 0.275mm respectively. Press
[ARROW KEY] to move the tool carriage to the position where you like. Then, press the [ENTER KEY] to
perform Cut Test.
Note: At the same time, the new origin is also set at the cutting test position.
When the cutting test is completed, a pattern appears. Peel off the pattern to see if it can be easily
separated from the media base. If yes, the setup tool force is appropriate. If not or cut through the back
paper, press [FORCE KEY] to adjust the tool force until an optimum force is obtained (Figure 4-14).
