Adjustment of Offset

Check the corners of the triangles and rectangles. See "Setting the Tool
Condition" in the User's Manual (PDF) and adjust the offset value if the
corner is not cut or if it is cut too much.

Adjustment for Half Cutting

Peel off the triangle area, and adjust so it cuts slightly into the backing sheet.
If the backing sheet has been cut through, either the FORCE setting is
too high or the cutter-blade tip is extended too far. If the backing sheet
shows only a few traces of the cutter blade, either the FORCE setting is
too low or the cutter blade tip is not sufficiently extended.
See "Adjusting the Blade Length" and "Setting the Force" in the User's
Manual (PDF) and adjust the settings.

Adjustment for Cutting Out

Adjust so the media is completely cut out.
If the media is not completely cut, either the FORCE setting is too low or
the cutter blade tip is not sufficiently
extended.
See "Adjusting the Blade Length" and "Setting the Force" in the User's
Manual (PDF) and adjust the settings.

Adjustment When Using Plotting Pen

Adjust the FORCE so there will be no faint lines. To prolong the pen life,
set the FORCE to the lowest setting without any faint lines. See "Setting
the Force" for the FORCE setting and adjust the settings.
