S CLASS™ cutter User's Manual

4.3.1.4 OPOS

The OPOS settings are explained in detail in section 3, except for the Alignment
mode.
There are three additional alignment methods available on all S CLASS™ cutters:
X-Alignment, XY-Alignment and XY-Adjustment. These alignment methods can be
used if the combination of marker color – media color cannot be read by the OPOS
sensor.
These alignment methods require that the user manually register markers using the
cutter's keypad. Most cutting software can automatically put these markers around the
printed graphic.
X-Alignment compensates for errors in media alignment, and therefore graphic
rotation, by rotating the graphic's contour. This alignment method requires that the
user specify the Origin and one point along the X-Axis. Distance parameters are not
required. X-Alignment is the simplest alignment method.
XY-Alignment compensates for errors in graphic rotation and skew. Skew errors occur
when the graphic's X and Y Axes are not perpendicular. This alignment method
requires that the Origin and one point along both the X and Y Axes be specified.
XY-Adjustment compensates for errors in graphic rotation, skew, and scale. Scale
errors occur when the graphic's printed size is different from the graphic's original size
as created in the imaging software. X-Distance and Y-Distance parameters are
required. These parameters define the distance between the Origin and X-Axis point,
and between the Origin and Y-Axis point. XY-Adjustment is the most accurate manual
alignment method.
Press the button, then use or to change the alignment method.
Press to confirm or to cancel.
Default alignment method is OPOS.

4.3.1.5 Communication

The communication settings menu groups all the parameters that determine the speed
and method of communicating with the computer, as well as the language protocol.
NOTE: The serial parameter settings for RS232 must match the computer RS232 port
settings. Use Summa Cutter Control to check RS232 port settings.
Some software uses the Windows default serial port settings. Summa Cutter Control
uses its own and can be easily accessed. Baud rate setting is selected automatically.
