Click the [Media/Cuttings] tab to display the [Media/
5
Cuttings] page.
6 In the [Settings to Cut] field, set values for [Cutting Speed]
and [Cutting Pressure] that match the media you're using.
Optimal values are as follows.
For the included media and genuine resin-use media (white
or transparent vinyl chloride)
Cutting speed: 40 mm/sec
Cutting pressure: 120 gf
For genuine wax-use media (white synthetic paper)
Cutting speed: 40 mm/sec
Cutting pressure: 120 gf
Adjust the [Cutting Speed] and [Cutting Pressure] values to line up the composition, hardness, and other qualities of
the media.
If you don't know what [Cutting Speed] and [Cutting Pressure] settings are best for the media you're using, first set
[Cutting Pressure] to 30 gf, carry out a cutting test, then gradually increase the value and repeat cutting tests until you
obtain optimal results. You can set the value for [Cutting Pressure] in increments of 10 gf.
Also, a [Cutting Speed] setting of 40 mm/sec is acceptable in nearly all cases, but if results are not acceptable then
gradually reduce the value and carry out cutting tests. You can set the value for [Cutting Speed] in increments of 1
mm/sec.
Click the [Test Cutting] button.

A dialog box prompting you to confirm media feed
appears.
Make sure that 76 mm (3 in.) or more of media has been
8
fed out from the PC-12, then click [OK].
(You can be sure that the fed-out length is 76 mm (3 in.) or
more if the end of the fed-out media reaches the surface of
the table where the PC-12 is installed)
The Status Monitor appears and the cutting test runs.
For more information about the Status Monitor, go to "4.2
Output from a Compatible Program," see "Executing
Printing and Cutting Tests," and refer to "Status Monitor."
9 The cutting test performs the cutting shown in the figure at
right. Peel off this media and check whether the cutting
results are optimal.
First peel off the circle. If the square does not peel away
too, the results are acceptable.
Next, peel off the square. If the blade has left only faint
traces on the media's carrier paper, the results are
acceptable.
If the cutting results are not optimal, the amount of blade extension may not be correct.
Refer to "3.4 Installing and Adjusting the Blade" and check the amount of blade extension.
Note that you should be sure to make the amount of blade extension the same as the thickness of the media, and carry
out fine adjustment for the [Cutting Speed] and [Cutting Pressure] settings.
