Position The Pinch Rollers - HP 54 Basic Cutter User Manual

5. Position the pinch rollers over the drive sleeves about 3 to 15 mm (0.1 to 0.6 in) away from the substrate's
outer edges (1).
6. Lower the pinch-roller lever to press the substrate firmly against the drive sleeves. After one second the
tool carriage automatically moves from right to left to measure the usable substrate width.
NOTE:
substrate automatically as needed.
While the cutter is activated, it will automatically start executing a minimal loading procedure as soon as the
pinch rollers are lowered. The load procedure will also start if the cutter is switched on while substrate is already
in the cutter 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 cutter's minimal loading procedure consists of the following actions, for every kind of job:
It measures the width of the substrate.
●
It unwinds the substrate for a length equal to the width between the two pinch rollers.
●
It makes a simultaneous 45° axial move of the drive drum (sleeves) and cutting head.
●
The cutter is now ready to receive jobs from the computer.
When receiving a job from the computer, the cutter automatically pulls the required substrate 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
substrate.
This load procedure is sufficient in most cases. However, there are some extra load features available.
NOTE: Tracking of longer signs can be guaranteed only when the full load procedure is performed.

Position the pinch rollers

Proper movement of the substrate will occur only if the substrate is driven by the two outer pinch rollers, which
are correctly located over two drive sleeves.
