In addition to the preceding method, you can also set the origin point by using the
[ ] and [ ] keys to feed out the required length of material to the rear of the
machine, then pressing the [ORIGIN] key. At this time, the fed-out length appears
on the display as shown at right.
For more information, see "4-4 Setting the Origin Point."
If You Are Using with the CAMM-1 Driver
As was explained in the previous section, when you're using front loading you need to take action to make the cutting area available,
but when you're using the CAMM-1 driver you can perform this automatically.
1
Open the CAMM-1 driver Properties window, click the [Options] tab, then select [Feed material before cutting]. Also, go to
the [Size] tab and make the setting for [Cutting Area]. The cutting area of the size you set here is made available.
2 Load material, then choose either [ROLL] or [R-EDGE].
3
When you send cutting data from the computer, the material is fed toward the back without any cutting or printing performed.
A new origin point is set and the cutting area is made available automatically. Cutting then starts.
4
When cutting finishes, the tool returns to the origin point. When you send the next set of cutting data, leave the location of
the tool unchanged.
The tool position when cutting starts is used as the point of origin for automatically making the cutting area available
using [Feed material before cutting]. It makes no difference where the origin point has been set.
This operation changes as follows according to the setting for [Cutting Origin]. Selecting [Origin] always makes the
cutting area available at the left edge. Selecting [Tool Position] makes the present tool position the point of origin not
only for the direction of material feed but for the left and right tool directions as well.
