is not cut or if it is cut too much.

Adjustment for Half Cutting

Peel off the triangle area, and adjust so it cuts slightly into the
backing sheet.
If the backing sheet has been cut through, either the FORCE
setting is too high or the cutter-blade tip is extended too far. If
the backing sheet shows only a few traces of the cutter blade,
either the FORCE setting is too low or the cutter blade tip is not
sufficiently extended.

Adjustment for Cutting Out

Adjust so the media is completely cut out.
If the media is not completely cut, either the FORCE setting is too low or the cutter blade tip is not sufficiently
extended.
See "Adjusting the Blade Length"

Adjustment When Using Plotting Pen

Adjust the FORCE so there will be no faint lines. To prolong the pen life, set the FORCE to the lowest setting
without any faint lines. See"Setting the Force"

Adjust the Blade Length (Automatic Height Adjust)

Test cutting must be performed several times in order to confirm the optimal blade length setting. However, if
the blade length adjustment function is used, the optimal length can be easily set.
