4-8 Making Various Adjustments for Cutting
Description
This enables you to check and verify the settings for the cutting conditions using cutting-test results.
P. 46, "Performing a Cutting Test"
[FORCE]: This sets the force (pressure) of the blade.
[SPEED]: This sets the speed of cutting.
[OFFSET]: This makes the blade-offset setting for the blade. Enter the listed offset value for the blade. (The offset value for
the included blade is 0.25 mm.)
[UP-SPEED]: This sets the blade's up speed during cutting (the speed at which the blade travels when it moves to the next
cutting line after cutting one cutting line). If the media comes loose during no-load feed and the blade damages the surface
of the media, reduce the speed.

The cut shape is distorted.
