Adjusting Cut Depth/Pressure - Primera FX1200 Operator's Manual

E. Adjusting Cut Depth/Pressure
1. After running 1 copy, attempt to peel the label from the web.
2. Check for tear. If it tears you will need to increase the Cutter
Pressure from the Setup Tab. Increase pressure in small increments
to avoid over compensating and cutting through the liner.
3. Check the liner. Once you peel up the label, check the liner.
If it has been cut, decrease pressure.
4. Depth Gauges. (Not commonly necessary) If you cannot find a
pressure setting between labels tearing and cutting the liner you may
need to use depth gauges. Depth gauges are used to physically limit
the amount of blade that protrudes for cutting. They screw onto the
end of the knife holders. They are only used in rare circumstances
with specific types of media. The plastic gauge will contact the web.
To prevent marking the web, laminate the labels when the depth
gauge is used.
5. Continue increasing or decreasing pressure and pressing "Cut Test" until the label no longer
tears, the liner is not cut through or printed material reaches the cutter.
Note: If you add or remove laminate you will need to increase or decrease cut pressure by
approximately 15 units from the pressure setting set for the previous job.
Warning: If you are using multiple blades make sure the number of knives used displayed by
the software matches the actual number of knives installed.
