Operation

4.3 Cutting Force and Offset Adjustment

Before sending your designs for cutting, you may perform a "cut test" to generate satisfactory cutting
results. The "Cut Test" should be repeated until the appropriate cutting conditions for the media are
discovered.
After sizing the media, press [CUT TEST] button to select the "square cut", and press [ENTER] key to
confirm.
The default cutting force and offset value of the cutting test are 80 gf and 0.275 mm respectively. Press
[ARROW] key to move the tool carriage to the position where you like. Then, press the [ENTER] key to
perform Cut Test.
Note: At the same time, the new origin is also set at the cutting test position.
When the cutting test is completed, a pattern appears. Peel off the pattern to see if it can be easily
separated from the media base. If yes, the setup tool force is appropriate. If not or cut through the back
paper, press [FORCE] key to adjust the tool force until an optimum force is obtained. (Figure 4-14)
If the pattern appears to be BB or CC layout,
press [OFFSET] key to adjust the offset value
until AA pattern discovered. Increase the
offset value when BB occurs and decrease
the value when CC appears.
