Operating the EDGE 2
5 Sight through the eyepiece and slow slew the
material and the carriage so that the registration
mark is exactly centered in the eyepiece as shown at
right.
6 Once the registration mark is centered, do not slew again.
7 Remove the eyepiece and replace it with the knife.
8 Cut the job according to your plotter or console instructions.
Do not change basic parameters such as axis swap, repeats, or job order after
printing and before cutting. If you change them, the printed jobs and the cut
jobs will not match.

Using the setup menu

When you press the SETUP key from the Offline mode, the EDGE 2
enters the Setup menu. Many parameters are accessed through the Setup
menu. The only three you should attempt to change without the help of
Gerber Field Service are:


the print test pattern


the amount of overlap when restarting a job after a pause.


the checksum
The Setup menu contains additional selections that are used for Gerber
diagnostic purposes only. If you accidentally scroll beyond the menu
selection you want, repeatedly press SETUP until that selection appears
again in the display or press RESET and SETUP to return to the first
menu selection. Do not change any settings except checksum, test
pattern, or overlap without first consulting the Gerber Field Service
Department.
Performing a print test
The GERBER EDGE 2 has several built-in test patterns that are used to
diagnose printing problems. If you should ever find it necessary to call
Field Service for help on solving a printing problem, they may ask you to
print one or more of these test prints and tell them what you see.
1 Press the hidden key, PRINT TEST to start the test print. The pattern
will print continuously.
2 To stop print test, press RESET.
