Cut through specifications

reduce your speed to 10 cm/s

increase your force to 250 g

use all pressure rollers

On a Kona / Kona apparel 760 ==> 2 pressure rollers

On a Kona / Kona apparel 1400 and Kona / Kona apparel 1650 ==> 3 pressure rollers

lower your cut through media width dimension

choose your in between margins for cut through stickers sufficient enough

minimal media movement

plot order important (first > contour data, second > cut through data)

VS/ZF/AS menu = accept (new header per line type)

When accepting you will use the EasySign settings and not the parameters you set.
Therefore you need to set your preferred settings in EasySign.
easy cut through shapes (rectangles, circles, squares)

NO multi-frame alignment systems advised (multi-segment)

NO repeat mode recommend

For cut through reasons, it is better to have this dashing technique (intermittent plotting via
the LT, UL commands) configured at the end of your vector data group. The sorting routine of
your software should therefore automatically configure these vector paths at the end of your
file output.
Cut Through compatible alignments are:
Manual Alignment

Automatic Alignment

Automatic Alignment with bar code

Automatic multi - frame alignment with bar code (# segments)

