Page 11: Basic Operation
• When Moving the PNC-950... Do not try to pick up or move the PNC-950 by grasping the top area of the unit -- be sure to use both hands to grip the PNC-950 securely on the left and right sides. -

(for cutting smooth circles and arcs). When the PNC-950 is connected to the computer through the serial port, be sure that the communication parameters for SW-1 to SW-6 are set correctly, matching the computer port settings. -
Page 13: Installing The Blade
Adjusting the Cutter Blade The amount of cutter blade extension can be adjusted by rotating the cap. Turn the cap clockwise to retract the blade or counterclock- wise to expose it. (Each scale line corresponds to 0.1 mm (about 0.004"). One full turn moves the blade 0.5 mm (about 0.02").) Adjust blade holder before mounting on the tool carriage. -
Page 14: Loading The Sheet - Setup Key
If DIP switch SW-9 (loaded sheet type) has not been set, then turn OFF the power to the PNC-950 and set the DIP switch to match the specific type of sheet loaded. (Set SW-9 to ON when using a single sheet or to OFF when using rolled sheet.) After making the setting, turn the PNC-950 back ON. - Page 15 (2) Either cut the sheet to the required length, or set the sheet base included with the PNC-950 at the back of the unit, place a rolled sheet on the sheet base. It is important to pull out the amount of sheet required for the intended design.
- Page 16 - Ideally, the PNC-950 should be set up as shown in figure A or B below. If you are using a different setup configuration (like in figures C, D, and E), then it will not be possible to feed the sheet correctly.

Page 17: Removing The Sheet
(2) Pass the end of the sheet between the pinch rollers and the grit rollers so that it extends from the front of the unit. If you are using a rolled sheet, set the sheet base included with the PNC-950 at the back of the unit, place a rolled sheet on the sheet base, and pull out slack from the roll. -
Page 18: About The Cutting Area
, ORIGIN SET Keys The PNC-950 allows the origin point (0,0) to be set at any position in the cutting area. When loading a rolled sheet set DIP switch SW-9 to OFF. Once the sheet is loaded and the SETUP key has been pressed, the origin (0,0) is automatically set to a position near the left movable pinch roller on the left-hand side. -
Page 19: Cutting Test To Check Blade Force - , , , , And Test Keys
4-6 Cutting Test to Check Blade Force — , and TEST Keys Before carrying out actual cutting, you may wish to perform a "cutting test" to check whether the unit produces the cutout satisfactorily. This "cutting test" allows you to determine whether the settings you have for the blade force are appropriate. See below for a detailed explanation of blade force. -

Page 21: Continuing Cutting
Continuing Cutting on the Same Sheet Refer to "4-5 Setting the Origin Point" on page 12 to set the origin for the unused area on the sheet. Then send cutting data from the computer to the PNC-950. • Cutting a Thick Sheet SW-8, one of the DIP switches located on the right side of the unit, is normally set to OFF (light). -
Page 22: When Cutting Is Completed
* A computer is not required in order to carry out the self-test. (1) Refer to "4-3 Installing the Blade" on page 7 and install a blade holder (or pen) in the PNC-950's tool carriage. (2) Set the pen force to the smallest possible value (the pen force slider should be at the furthest point to the left). If after the first test you feel that the sheet was not cutout clean enough, you can try gradually increasing the pen force until you have the optimum level. -
Page 23: Settings For Each Function
After holding down the SETUP key for about one second to make the SETUP LED go out, press the ROTATE key. The ROTATE LED is extinguished, and the origin returns to the point at bottom left. The ROTATE function is also canceled when the power to the PNC-950 is turned off. -
Page 24: Plotting On Paper Media - Pen Mode Key And Pen Mode Led
• Plotting on Paper Media — PEN MODE Key and PEN MODE LED The PNC-950 is also capable of plotting on paper media using plotter pens made by this company. You should use only thick water-based fiber-tipped pens. Since the design of the PNC-950 differs inherently from that of dedicated plotters, it does not accommodate functions such as high-speed plotting, automatic pen changes, pen dry protection, or the like. -
Page 25: About The Blade
6 ABOUT THE BLADE If the blade becomes dull When the blade starts to lose its sharpness, try gradually increasing the blade force (refer to page 13, "4-6 Cutting Test to Check Blade Force"). Increasing the blade force temporarily allows the blade to perform better. However, once the blade is dull, it is time to replace it. -
