    SummaCut cutter User’s Manual How to Change the User (Quick Parameter Change) The SummaCut cutters include 4 user configurations, all of which consist of the same parameters. Each configuration can have unique parameter settings. This allows the cutter to be quickly and easily reconfigured for different types of jobs or media. NOTE: Factory default values for the different users are all set the same.

  • Page 45: How To Make Sure The Sign Has The Correct Size

    SummaCut cutter User’s Manual How to Make Sure the Sign Has the Correct Size (Length Calibration) The SummaCut cutters are friction-feed machines. This means the cutting length depends on the thickness of the material. The cutters have been calibrated in the factory for standard 2-mil cast or 3-mil calendared vinyl.

  • Page 46: Length Calibration Pattern

    SummaCut cutter User’s Manual The cutter will reload the media and perform the length calibration test. Take out the media and measure the length of the cut line with a ruler (measuring device). The length that needs to be entered is the distance between line 1 and line 2, as shown in the figure below.

  • Page 47: Opos (Optical Positioning)

    NOTE: Although the OPOS sensor has been calibrated in the factory, Summa recommends doing a test to determine how well the factory-set parameters work with the materials you are using. If the accuracy is not what is expected, then do the OPOS calibration. Also refer to the section about detailed OPOS operation (section 0) for extra tips on defining and cutting contours.

  • Page 48: Opos Calibration

    SummaCut cutter User’s Manual 3.2.1 OPOS calibration Switch the cutter on and load black vinyl with white backing. ATTENTION: Black vinyl with white backing MUST be used when calibrating OPOS. The media calibration setting must be set to the default value. 2.

  • Page 49: Media Calibration

    SummaCut cutter User’s Manual 3.2.2 Media calibration Media calibration ensures that the sensor is able to recognize the marks. OPOS is calibrated at the factory to work on a wide range of media. However, certain media -- such as those with a high gloss -- may not work with the default settings. Before working with such materials, perform a media calibration test.

  • Page 55: Automating Tasks With Opos

    SummaCut cutter User’s Manual Automating Tasks with OPOS During normal OPOS jobs the user only needs to set the tool above the first mark to start the job. OPOS allows the user to automate certain tasks, thus reducing user intervention and production time. There are several types of automation. Automatic start of the OPOS job This is controlled by the parameter OPOS origin.

  • Page 56: Opos Origin

    SummaCut cutter User’s Manual 3.4.1 OPOS origin The parameter OPOS origin is created to automate the start of the OPOS procedure. This parameter has 4 settings. The usage of this parameter depends on the chosen OPOS mode. This parameter can be found in the system sub menu OPOS parameters (see section If the OPOS is OPOS barcode or OPOS Sheet, then this parameter has no effect.
  • Page 57 SummaCut cutter User’s Manual OPOS origin is set to ‘Current Position’ Upon receiving an OPOS job from the computer, the cutter will immediately start searching for the OPOS XY line by slowly moving forward the media. Once it has found it, it will follow this line to the right until it finds the location of the first mark and then start searching for the actual first mark.

  • Page 58: Cutting Multiple Copies Of A Graphic On The Same Roll

    This way of automating is very software dependable. Usually the necessary parameters need to be set in the software itself. In rare cases, the distance between jobs needs to be set in the cutter itself. The only possible way to do this is to use Summa Cutter Control.
