Page 31: Selecting The Command Mode And Interface Conditions
Before sending data from the computer, you must set up the cutting plotter so that it can recognize the format (command mode) of data sent by the application software. The cutting plotter can recognize two data formats (command modes): Graphtec commands (GP-GL) or HP-GL. Select the COMMAND mode to suit your application. -
Page 32: Selecting The Step Size Or Origin Point
3.4.2 Selecting the STEP SIZE or ORIGIN POINT The STEP SIZE Setting The STEP SIZE setting is only required when the COMMAND setting is GP-GL. In GP-GL command mode, it is possible to change the minimum unit of distance which the cutter pen or pen can travel to one of four settings: 0.01, 0.025, 0.05, or 0.1 mm. -
Page 33: Selecting The Interface Conditions
3.4.3 Selecting the Interface Conditions It is necessary to select the INTERFACE conditions if you are using the RS-232C serial interface. INTERFACE settings include the data transfer rate (baud rate), data length, parity mode, and handshaking mode. The INTERFACE conditions you select for the cutting plotter must match those of the computer’s operating system. -

Page 35: Types And Features Of Cutter Blades
Before you start cutting, it is important that you become familiar with the types and features of the cutter blades which can be used with the cutting plotter. By selecting the optimum combination of cutter blade and film, you can achieve higher cutting quality. CAUTION To avoid cutting your fingers, always handle the cutter blade with caution. - Page 36 Replacing the Cutter Blade Step Turn the blade length adjustment knob Blade length Blade length adjustment knob (red) adjustment knob (blue) to retract the blade inside the plunger.

Page 38: Mounting The Cutter Pen Plunger
4.3 Mounting the Cutter Pen Plunger After the blade length has been properly adjusted, mount the cutter pen plunger in the cutting plotter as described below. Step Loosen the pen holder’s screw and then mount the cutter pen plunger Be sure to press the into the pen holder. -
Page 39: Setting The Cutting Conditions
4.4 Setting the Cutting Conditions Before starting a cutting operation, set the BLADE TYPE, FORCE, SPEED, CUTTER OFFSET, and QUALITY settings to provide the optimum cutting conditions. The compatibility of the selected cutting conditions with the film to be cut is determined by the five factors below. -
Page 40: Selecting A Set Of Cutting Conditions
Reference Pen Conditions for Plotting Pens Pen type FORCE SPEED QUALITY Water based fiber-tip pen 10 to 12 To preserve the pen’s longevity, set the FORCE to the lowest possible setting that permits you to obtain the desired plotted results. Set the SPEED after checking the plotted results for the absence of faint lines and other problems. -
Page 41: Specifying The Cutting Force
At the above menu, use the keys to change the PEN FORCE value. (The PEN FORCE can be set in a range from 1 to 31 for the CE2000-60, and from 1 to 39 for the CE2000-120.) ENTER When the displayed PEN FORCE value is satisfactory, press the key to register your setting. -
Page 42: Specifying The Cutting Speed
4.4.3 Specifying the Cutting SPEED This setting determines the speed with which cutting is performed. Set the SPEED value to suit the medium you will be using, based on the guidelines in the table entitled “Optimum Cutting Conditions According to Film Type” on page 4-6. Step After selecting the desired set of cutting conditions, check that the cutting plotter is in READY or PAUSE F2/TEST... -
Page 43: Specifying The Cutter Offset
4.4.4 Specifying the CUTTER OFFSET This setting adjusts the offset of the cutter blade according to the currently selected blade type. If the blade type is set to PEN, a plotting pen can be used. When a cutter blade designation or OTHER is selected, a cutter pen can be used. -

Page 45: Running A Cutting Test
4.5 Running a Cutting TEST After selecting the blade type and specifying the FORCE, SPEED, CUTTER OFFSET, and QUALITY settings, run a cutting test to ensure that the selected cutting conditions actually produce the desired cutting results by checking how far the blade cuts into the film and how corners are being cut. If the cut results are not satisfactory, repeatedly specify the cutting conditions and then run the cutting test until you achieve the optimum settings. -

Page 56: Enabling The Auto Pre Feed Mode
6.3 Enabling the AUTO PRE FEED Mode When the CE2000 first receives data while the AUTO PRE FEED setting is ON, it automatically feeds the medium forward and backward by the specified distance. This operation marks the cutting film with the tracks of the grit rollers and thus prevents the film from slipping out of place. When using roll film, moreover, the CE2000 automatically advances the leading edge of the medium. -
Page 57: Adjusting The Distance Precision
6.4 Adjusting the Distance Precision The DIST ADJ. function can be used to correct any deviation in the length of cut or plotted line segments which occurs as a result of the medium being used. The corrective value for any deviation in each coordinate axis is specified as a percentage of the total distance. -
Page 58: Aligning The Coordinate Axes
6.5 Aligning the Coordinate Axes When loading new film, the AXIS ADJ. function is used to reposition the coordinate axes to compensate for any deviation in the coordinate axes and origin between the cutting plotter and the medium which has previously been cut or plotted. This function lets you re-align the cutting plotter’s coordinate axes to match those of a previously cut or plotted medium. - Page 59 Step ADJ.

Page 61: Specifying The Plot Area
6.7 Specifying the PLOT AREA This function allows you to specify the area in which cutting will be performed, thus preventing cutting outside of the specified area. This function lets you make more efficient use of film. When you wish to cut an uncut portion of film that has already been cut, specify the PLOT AREA to exclude the previously cut area. - Page 62 Step Use the POSITION keys to move the carriage to the lower left corner of the desired cutting area. When ENTER the carriage is satisfactorily positioned, press the key. If you wish to use the default L.L. setting (0,0) instead of specifying a new L.L. position, however, ENTER press the key (DEFAULT) before pressing the...

Page 67: Specifying The Offset Angle
7.3 Specifying the OFFSET ANGLE Based on the coordinate data received, the cutting plotter controls the angle of the cutter blade’s tip according to the displacement of the travelling angle as defined by the data which specifies the movement of the cutter pen between coordinate points. This function sets the reference value used for adjusting the cutter blade’s offset angle. -
Page 68: Selecting The Step Pass
7.4 Selecting the STEP PASS Use this function when the coordinate data received specifies extremely short line segments. The cutting plotter uses the specified STEP PASS setting as the unit for blade tip control, omitting blade tip control for any data that is below the STEP PASS setting. This results in higher image quality by permitting smooth blade tip control when cutting circles, arcs, and other curved lines. -
