6.3 SETTING THE PARAMETERS AND LOADING TO CUT

After the 5 steps explained in the paragraph above, the design is ready to apply the
extra procedure (like laminating) to it. The rest of this paragraph describes what then
needs to be done to cut the contours. Skip this paragraph if WinPlot is used to
contourcut (recommended)
•
Load the media in the DC4 as described in section 1. Make sure it is loaded
in the same orientation as it came out of the DC4
•
Start Summa Printer Control
•
Change the 5 Opos parameter to the values that were used in section 6.2
step 4. The marker distance X-direction, the marker distance y-direction, the
marker size X-direction, the marker size Y-direction and the marker count
(number of markers in the X-direction). Send those values to the DC4.
•
Registrate the markers. To registrate the markers, enter the cutter menu.
•
Look for 'LOAD OPOS MARKERS' in the cutter menu and press 'ENTER'.
•
The DC4 will prompt the user to put the knife tip above the first marker. If all
previous steps were followed, then this means that the first marker is in the
lower left corner of the design that was just loaded in the DC4. Do so and
press 'ENTER'. Wait until the DC4 has read all the markers.
WinPlot automates this task so that it is not necessary to fill in the OPOS
parameters manually.
