OPERATION MANUAL

CAUTION

1. Prior to using this device, be sure to read this Operation manual and become fully familiar

with its operation method and usage cautions.

2. While the plotter is operating (while it is moving or its blades are vibrating), absolutely

never bring any part of your body (face, hands), clothes, or other objects near the flat bed

(cutting panel), as serious injury may result.

Particularly when lifting the head and operating the device without a work piece in order

to check data, one's hand can enter under the head safety cover. As this may cause

serious injury, proceed with great care.

3. The head units (A, B, C) move at high speed. When checking work results or adjusting

work slippage or floating, be sure to stop the device and perform these actions in either

the local mode or with the power switched off.

4. When attaching tools (reciprocal cutter, etc.), be sure to power off the device beforehand.

Attempting to change tools while the power is on presents the risk of unexpected injuries

due to erroneous panel operation, etc.

Page 70: Adjusting The Height Of The Head
ADJUSTING THE HEIGHT OF THE HEAD Once the work and tool have been attached, adjust the head height according to the tool that is used and the thickness of the work. • Be sure to use the felt mat placed on top of an insulated cutting mat. If cutting is performed using unit B without using a felt mat, incomplete cutting will occur.
Page 71 Pressing down the height adjusting bar, turn the height adjusting handle to lower the head. Lower the head until the bottom end of the adjusting bar comes in contact with the top surface of the work. Tight the both fixing screws on the head alternately.

Page 98: If Any Of The Below-Stated Phenomena Takes Place
IF ANY OF THE BELOW-STATED PHENOMENA TAKES PLACE Cutting depth is insufficient [CONDITION] > [PRESS CORRECT] If the cutter is lowered, the work may not be thoroughly cut out though the projecting amount of the blade tip is larger than the thickness of the work. In this case, the work can be cut out without fail by increasing the pressure applied to the descend- ing cutter.
Page 99: [Tool Adjust] > [Circle Q-Adjust]
[TOOL ADJUST] > [CIRCLE θ θ θ θ θ -ADJUST] The end of a cut circle may not meet the start of the circle with respect to thickness and hardness of a work. A close-to- normal circle can be cut by correcting the deviation. Since the deviation varies depending on the size of a circle, this function is used to correct the deviation in terms of circles in five different radius.

Page 104: General Explanation Of The Adjustment Of Tools
General explanation of the adjustment of tools Tools are adjusted with respect to the below-stated three items. (1) “Adjustment of the cutter” to adjust the low-pressure tangential cutter. (2) “Adjustment of the roller” to adjust the rollers and “adjustment of the cutter” for the high- pressure tangential cutter (3) “Adjustment of the circle θ”...
Page 105 How to adjust: Follow the adjusting procedure given below. In pattern A, the center position is adjusted by checking and adjusting the relationship between the blade tip and the center of the cutter according to the target. Normally, adjustment is performed so that the blade does not stick out too much and there is no gap.
Page 106 Adjustment of the θ θ θ θ θ angle The rotating angle of the tangential cutter is adjusted. Eliminate the difference in rotating angle between the plotted pattern and the cut pattern. Two different patterns are used for adjustment. They are different only in size. The illustration below indicates the size of the patterns and the cutting order.
Page 107 Adjustment of the offset Offset amount of the cut pattern as from the plotted pattern is adjusted in terms of the X- and Y-aes. One pattern is used for adjustment. The illustration below indicates the size of the patterns and the cutting order.
Page 108: Adjustment Of The Roller
Adjustment of the roller The roller is adjusted in three different ways as described below. “Adjustment of the eccentricity” to adjust the eccentricity of the tools “Adjustment of the q angle” to adjust the rotating angle of the roller “Adjustment of the offset” to eliminate the deviation between the roller and the pen Adjustment of the eccentricity The tool may be off-center when it is replaced.

Page 140: Setting Of Register Mark Detect
SETTING OF REGISTER MARK DETECT This function detects a register mark automatically. Use this function to correct the inclination of the sheet loaded, the position of plotting origin, and the distance between register marks and then cut the contour of printed image. If the firmware version is older than 2.50, the register mark is circular.
Page 141 PRECAUTIONS IN PREPARING DATA WITH REGISTER MARK There are some limitations on preparing data with register marks. In order to make full use of this function, read the following instruction carefully and prepare data with register mark. • The register mark described here is intended to detect the sheet inclination and the lengths along the X and Y axes.
Page 142 Size of the register mark Each side of the single register mark must be 5 - 30mm. Each side of the double register mark must be 10 - 30mm. The line width of mark shall be equal to or more than 0.2 mm and equal to or less than 0.5 mm. Refer to [The size of, and the distance between, register marks] (see page 5.9.) for the relationship between the data and the length of one sided of a register mark.
Page 143 The area where register marks and designs can be arranged The TP1 starting position must be 10mm or more away from the work left edge, and 30 mm or more away from the Available cutting area. Over 30mm needed from Within 20mm needed from plotting permitted area plotting permitted area...
Page 144 No-plotting area around the register marks There must be no data or stain arround the register mark; otherwise a wrong origin may be detected or a mark read error can occur. • If a wrong mark origin is detected, the cutting will be performed in a wrong area.
Page 145 Example of cause of wrong detection1: Layer of the offset printingis misaligned . • When printing with offset, square mark is printed in one color. Detected mark origin Mark origin Example of cause of wrong detection2: The diarnce between square marks (TP3 of pattern A and TP1 of pattern C, or TP2 of pattern A and TP1 of patternB) is less than 10mm.
Page 146 Example of cause of wrong detection3: The distance between register marks(TP2&TP1, TP4&TP2) is smaller than the mark lengt. No plotting area Space larger than the mark length No plotting area Space larger than the mark length — 5.8 —...
Page 147 The size of, and the distance between, square marks The size (B) of a register mark suited for the distance (A) between the mark is as shown below. If the mark size (B) is too small relative to the distance (A), the marks may not be detected correctly. Be sure to prepare the register marks with an appropriate size.
Page 148 Color of Register mark Black or white is recommended for the register mark color. Other corlors can be detected. However make sure to not use the same color as media(work). It is recommended to confirm ahead, either register mark is detectable. The register mark will not be deteced correctly if there is a strong glossy, pattern (hair line) on the work, or depending on the media(work) color.

CONTINUOUS CUT WITH REGISTER MARK When using a cutting software “FineCut,”, countinuous cut is available. Register mark on a printed data should be only one set. Configure the FineCut setting, and start plot. Select [Single mode] and set the number of Repeat.
Page 156: Initialize The Register Mark Scale Adjustment [Sc.clr]
INITIALIZE THE REGISTER MARK SCALE ADJUSTMENT [SC.CLR] When using a cutting software other than “FineCut,” need to initialize the adjustment value after cutting. [SC.CLR] initialize the shaft adjustment value and scale adjustment value. If cut the data where no register mark positioned without initialize the adjustment value, cut may misaligned.
