2-1 ABOUT THE CUTTING AREA

Maximum cutting area
PNC-1850: Width of 1195 mm (47") (horizontal direction), and length of 24,998 mm (984-1/8") (vertical direction)
PNC-1200: Width of 585 mm (23") (horizontal direction), and length of 24,998 mm (984-1/8") (vertical direction)
Acceptable sheet widths
PNC-1850: 50 mm—1220 mm (1-15/16"—48")
The cutting area along the horizontal plane (the direction in which the tool carriage moves) is determined by the position of the pinch
rollers. 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 sheet length is greater than 1,600 mm (62-15/16") when a flat sheet (paper) has been loaded, the PNC-1850/1200 deter-
mines it to be a rolled sheet and sets the sheet length to 24,998 mm (984-1/8").

Whenever you employ the Rotate function (which allows you to rotate a character 90 degrees), the origin will be located at the sheet's lower-right.

2-2 ABOUT THE BLADE

If the blade becomes dull
When the blade starts to lose its sharpness, gradually increase the pen force (refer to " ** gf
Increasing the pen force temporarily allows the cutter to compensate for a dull blade. However, increasing the blade force should
be a temporary measure. Consider replacing the blade immediately.
The life of a blade is determined mainly by the amount of cutting it performs.
The total cutting length actually obtained can vary considerably depending on the thickness, density, and type of adhesive layer
that the sheet has. By matching the force and blade settings to the type of material that is being used, the life of the blade can be
extended. Excessive forces will cause the blade to wear more quickly.
