  • Page 22: Loading The Material

    Loading the Material Important Notes on Using Pinch Rollers When using the pinch rollers for setting up the material, be sure to follow the precautions below. Keep the lever raised when the pinch rollers are not in use. • Be sure to raise the pinch rollers before moving them. Use the lever to raise or lower the pinch rollers.

  • Page 23: Precautions For Loading Materials

    Loading the Material Precautions for Loading Materials Make sure that the material is loaded and set up correctly in the machine. • Place the pinch rollers with the necessary space at both edges of the material. • Be sure to place the pinch rollers on both edges of the material within the grit patterns that indi- cate the position of grit rollers.

  • Page 24: Loading Roll Material

    Loading the Material Loading Roll Material Load the roll material on the cutting machine. Load the roll media correctly. CAUTION Otherwise the media may fall and cause injury. The roll media is approximately 24 kg (52.9 lb.) (54-inch model: 20 kg CAUTION [44.1 lb.]).
  • Page 25 Loading the Material Place the roll material in the roll holder. • When using the roll holder flanges, place them in the center of the grooves on the roll holder guide bushes to prevent these flanges from interfering with the sides of these grooves.
  • Page 26 Loading the Material Move the pinch rollers and place them on both edges of the roll material. Check that the pinch rollers are positioned within the range of the grit patterns. If the pinch rollers are not placed within the range of the grit patterns, the material cannot be fed proper- Position the pinch rollers on the edges so that each one is 0.5 to 25 mm (0.02 to 0.98 in.) (if the roll material used is more than 4 m [157.49 in.] long, then more than 25 mm [0.99 in.]) inside of the respective left or right edge of the material.
  • Page 27 Loading the Material Check that the roll material is equally taut on the left and right. Twisted material may indicate that it is not being fed in a straight manner. Adjust the position of the material and reload it. Set the material feeding so the material length required for the cutting data is fed before cutting starts.
  • Page 28 Loading the Material Check the status of the cutting surface (part near the cutting carriage path), the material edges, and the material on the rear side of the machine. Incorrectly loaded material will lead to misalignment, so reload the material if: •...

  • Page 29: Adjusting The Roll Material Feed

    Loading the Material Adjusting the Roll Material Feed Adjust the roll holder so it tracks the rotation of the roll material, ensuring the smooth feeding of this material. Procedure Turn the damper ( ) to adjust how much the roll holder rotates. Make adjustments using the adjustment reference sticker ( ) and the damper number ( ) as references.

  • Page 30: Loading Flat Material

    Loading the Material Loading Flat Material Load the flat material on the cutting machine. If flat material is used, it must be at least 100 mm (3.94 in.) longer (70 mm [2.76 in.] when the cutting area is extended in the length direction) than the vertical size of the cutting data.
  • Page 31 Loading the Material MEMO Sprocket-fed perforated material has perforations along each edge. If the pinch rollers are positioned over the perforations, the material cannot be fed correctly. When using this material with the machine, place the pinch rollers to avoid the perforations. When loading material that lifts up easily, place the pinch rollers on the middle of the material.

  • Page 32: Measuring The Material Size

    Loading the Material Measuring the Material Size The size of the material loaded in the cutting machine can be measured and recorded in the machine. Raising the lever resets the memory of material size, and therefore the size of the material must be measured every time the lever is raised and lowered.

  • Page 33: Remove The Material

    Loading the Material Remove the Material Remove the material from the cutting machine. Procedure Raise the lever. The pinch rollers rise up to release the material. Remove the material from the front or rear side of the machine. Separating Only the Cut Area Procedure Press [▲] or [▼] to feed the material to the position that you want to cut.

  • Page 34: Pausing And Canceling Output

    Pausing and Canceling Output Pausing and Resuming Output You can pause an ongoing cutting process and resume paused cutting output. MEMO This operation may compromise cutting quality. Do not stop the cutting process if you can avoid it. Procedure Press [PAUSE/RESUME] before printing finishes. Cutting output pauses.

    Recommended Cutting Conditions A general guide for cutting conditions for different combinations of materials and blades is given be- low. Before cutting, perform a cutting test with a suitable blade for the sheet material. IMPORTANT Blades have suitability for particular sheet materials, and cutting materials that are not specified as suitable may cause the blade to break.

  • Page 40: Adjusting The Cutting Conditions

    Adjusting the Cutting Conditions This setting enables you to make adjustments to the cutting conditions on the operation panel while checking the cutting test results. After running a cutting test, you can change the cutting conditions from the printer driver's [Printing Preferences] window (or GreatCut-R/VersaWorks). Setting the Blade Force If the design peels off or if the carrier paper is also cut with the material, change the blade force.

  • Page 41: Setting The Cutting Speed

    Adjusting the Cutting Conditions Setting the Cutting Speed If the design peels off or if the cut lines are not clean, reduce the cutting speed. When the cutting speed is too fast, extra load is applied to the material, which can move the material up and down dur- ing cutting.

  • Page 42: Setting The Blade Offset

    Adjusting the Cutting Conditions Setting the Blade Offset Set the blade offset. Enter the listed offset value for the blade. When using the included blade, cut- ting can be performed using the factory-default settings. MEMO If the beginning of a cut deviates from the intended location or if the corners of a shape are not clean, adjust the offset value.

  • Page 43: Creating Cutting Data

    Creating Cutting Data In existing cutting data, create cutting lines used by the machine to identify where to cut. Creating Cutting Lines Using a Generated Data Path Paths created in illustration software (such as Adobe Illustrator) are recognized as cutting lines.
