plotter must be between jobs. You must take the plotter off line
to switch knife modes.

INIT KNIFE KEY

Use the INIT KNIFE key to initialize the swivel knife so that the
INIT
blade faces 0 . Press the INIT KNIFE key after loading the swivel
KNIFE
knife and selecting swivel knife mode.
CAUTION: Pressing INIT KNIFE when in swivel knife mode
lowers the knife into the vinyl and cuts a very short line. It is
important to have material loaded in the plotter so that the
knife does not cut the drum surface.
Note: You should initialize the swivel knife before every job if you
have changed material, or after a new tool has been installed.
