MODE 1 : Overcutting is performed at the starting and end points of cutting as well as at corners with
a sharp angle in order to prevent incomplete cut areas of the medium. Moreover, because
the blade is moved across the medium's surface in one stroke when the cutter's blade must
rotate by a wide angle, this mode allows you to cut thicker media or perform more detailed
cutting than is possible in MODE 2.
MODE 2 : Overcutting is only performed at the starting and end points of cutting. Because MODE 2
performs simpler blade control of the travelling cutter blade than MODE 1, the overall cut-
ting time is shorter.
