The PEN-UP SPEED can be set to AUTO or to 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 or 60 cm/s.
When AUTO is selected the PEN UP-SPEED is set to match the current cutting
SPEED setting.
• Press the ENTER key to register your settings or press the MENU key to
cancel MENU mode.
NOTE: Your PEN-UP SPEED setting is retained in the plotter's internal memory even
while the plotter is turned off.
Use this function to smooth curves on large characters or shapes. At the joints
of each line segment, the plotter stops cutting and very quickly rotates the blade
tip. This ensures the accurate cutting of the computer data. In some cases, it is
better to bypass this blade rotation and drag the blade in order to make the shape
smoother and to shorten overall cutting time. This action will result in a slightly
different shape from the original computer data.
With the OFFSET ANGLE function you may set the reference angle of connec-
tion and eliminate the blade control at the connections whose angles are under
that reference angle.
