DocuCutter 545

Automatic Operation via Barcode

The operator places a single sheet of preprinted output
containing a properly formatted code 39 barcode in the
feed tray of the DocuCutter DC-545 (or in the feed tray of
the AF-100 on HC version systems). See the DC-545
Instruction Manual for bar code and registration mark
details. The preprinted output contains a barcode
indicating which preprogrammed job the DocuCutter DC-
545 needs to execute. The DocuCutter DC-545
automatically sets the slitter positions, activates the cutter
for lead/trail edge trimming and the creaser for any
required crease(s).

Automatic Registration Correction

The DC-545 reads a small 90-degree angle registration
mark, adjacent to the barcode. It is used for cutting,
creasing, and trimming registration correction. The REG
mark reference position is input during entry of each set of
programming parameters. Since the REG mark and image
shift proportionately, any error in the REG mark position is
used as error correction data for image registration. The
DocuCutter DC-545 automatically compares the actual
image position to the reference position and offsets the
cutting and creasing position (horizontal shift) and slit
position (vertical shift) to maintain precise trims—every
time.
