Page 108 Setting the Number of Pre Feeds Set the number of pre feeds to prevent deviations from occurring when the roll media is pulled out. During the pre feed, the grit roller leaves traces on the paper. Pre feeds can be repeated after paper exposure time has elapsed. This function is available when the Initial Feed or if Panel Cutting is ON.
Page 109 Setting Paper Exposure Time This function sets the time the paper/media is acclimated to the operating environment after being pulled off the paper roll to minimize media expansion or contraction, and prevent it from adversely effecting cutting or plotting. After the initial feed is complete, the paper will be fed backwards to half the preset feed length and exposed for the set amount of time.
Page 110 Chapter 7: Settings Regarding Cutting Quality There are times that ideal cutting may not be possible, such as the lines may shift, corners deform, or uncut sections occur, due to the characteristics of the media (thickness, how hard it is, etc.) or the shape of the blades, when the actual cutting is done.
Page 111 Cutting the Corner of Thick Media Sharp Outline of tangential mode The blade needs to be facing toward the direction of cut when cutting the media. The tip of the blade is shaped as shown so the blade is facing the cutting direction even when it is cutting curved lines or corners. The tip of the blade is off from the rotation axis of the blade (CUTTER OFFSET).

Page 135 Sorting the Plotting Data When sorting cutting/plotting data, cutting is performed collectively so that the amount of movement in the media feed direction and the tool replacement time are minimized, so cutting operation is improved efficiently. The data of pen plunger (Condition No. 1) is plotted first, and then the data of cutter plunger (Condition No. 2 to No.
Page 136 Perform Automatic Pre Feed When Cut Data is Received It is possible to feed and reverse the media automatically for specified amount when the plotter receives the cutting data. "Pre feeding" to prevent the shifting of media can be done automatically. Also, the media will be unrolled from the roll before cutting when rolled media is to be used.
Page 137 Specify the setting value using the [ ] [ ] icon or the [ ] icon. Supplement • You can set the range between 0.5 m and 50.0 m. • Feed length can be set in 0.1 m units. Confirm the setting and press the [OK]. Press the [ ] icon.

Page 139 Setting Feed Speed for Pre Feed Set the speed of media feed such as the feed (media carry) of auto media of received cut/plotting data. Set the feed speed to "SLOW" if the media shifts during the Pre Feed when the heavy or slippery media is to be used.
Page 140 Setting the Moving Speed Moving speed is the speed the tool moves when it is raised (tool up state). The cutting time in total becomes short if you set the MOVING SPEED to fast speed even though the speed of the tool when it is cutting (lowered) is set to slow speed for the hard to cut media (hard or sticky).
Page 141 Press the moving speed you want to use. Press the [ ] icon. It will return to HOME screen.
Page 142 Setting the Shortcut Move When the plotter received coordinate information for moving with the tool up is continuously from a computer connected, you can set whether to move to each coordinate in turn or move directly to the final coordinate using the "SHORTCUT MOVE".
Page 143 Setting the Tool Up Height The TOOL UP HEIGHT is the height of the tool position when the tool is raised. Set to "HIGHER POSITION" if the media is thick. Usually, set to the "NORMAL POSITION". Supplement This setting will be saved even if the power is shut off. Operation Press the [ ] icon.
