Symptom
• The blade cuts even into the backing
sheet.
• The blade falls out of the cutter plunger.
• The medium is being cut but remain-
ing scraps are hard to remove.
• The processed film cannot be picked
up with a retack sheet.
• The cutter unit generates an abnor-
mal noise during operation.
• The medium becomes discolored
wherever the blade passes.
• The resulting image is not the speci-
fied size.
• The PROMPT lamp lights when data
is output (an off-scale error has
occurred)
• Certain areas of the medium cannot
be cut.
Cause
The cutter's blade is ex-
tended too far.
The cutting FORCE setting
is too high.
The cutter plunger's diam-
eter is too large for the blade
being used.
The retack sheet's adhesion
is too weak.
The medium gets entangled
where cutting has been
performed.
After processing, the me-
dium was left without
promptly peeling off remain-
ing scraps.
The tip of the cutter plunger
is rubbing against the me-
dium.
The software application and
plotter are not set to the
same STEP SIZE setting.
Scaling is enabled at your

Solution
Adjust the extended length of the cutter's
blade.
Lower the FORCE setting.
Use a cutter plunger of the proper
diameter for your blade.
Use a retack sheet with greater adhe-
sive power.
• Retract the extended length of the
cutter's blade.
• Lower the cutting FORCE setting.
Peel off remaining scraps as promptly
as possible.
Adjust the extended length of the
cutter's blade and the cutting FORCE
setting.
Specify the same STEP SIZE setting
for both your software application and
for the plotter.
Check the scaling setting.
Specify the same STEP SIZE setting
for both your software application and
for the plotter.
Re-specify the AREA setting.
Rewrite your data to specify a smaller
image.
