Page 20: Cutting Test - Setting Cutting Speed, Blade Force, And Blade Compensation
For optimum performance, it is necessary to set cutting conditions that match the material, giving consideration to the material's thickness and type of material. The PNC-1860/1410/1210 has an internal "cutting test" to check the cutting conditions. This “cutting test” allows you to determine settings for the cutting speed, blade force and the amount of offset. -

Page 25: About The Cutting Area
The workable area spans the length between the two rollers, minus a margin of about 1 mm (about 0.04") on both sides. If the material length is greater than 1,600 mm (62-15/16") when a flat material (paper) has been loaded, the PNC-1860/1410/ 1210 determines it to be a rolled material and sets the material length to 24,998 mm (984-1/8"). -

- Page 31 CROPMARK This is used when cutting around pre-printed graphics on a material, such as when making stickers or seals. With the PNC-1860/1410/ 1210, a material is always loaded parallel to the unit. This means that unless the graphics to be cut have been printed parallel to the material, the cutting lines become shifted from the graphics, and it becomes impossible to accurately cut around the graphics (see Figure A below).
