Calibration Of The Fb550 Cutter; Calibration Of The Creasing Tool To The Cutting Tool - Intec ColorCut FB550 Series Installation & Setup Manual

3.5. Calibration of the FB550 Cutter

The Intec ColorCut Flatbed engine needs to be calibrated befor e first use to ensu e
accurate cutting. There are 2 different calibrations that should be performed.
First (Section 3.5.1), is to calibrate T ool2 (The Creasing Tool) to Tool1 (The Cutting Tool).
This calibration is performed using the front control panel of the cutter and aligns the
cutting and creasing tools together.
If the Creasing Tool is NOT calibrated to the Cutting T ool, then your elements may
cut correctly BUT the crease will be performed in the wrong position.
The second calibration (Section 3.5.2), aligns Tool1 (The Cutting Tool) to the position of
the Optical Sensor that r eads the Page 'SMAR TMarks'. This calibration is performed
using the ColorCut Pro software and is knows as the Sensor Offset.
If the SENSOR OFFSET is not calibrated then your cut position may be offset from
the position on the sheet that you actually wish to cut.
Calibrations are only r equired upon first use and normally do not need to be
carried out subsequently.
