Step Pass - Setting The Step Pass - GRAPHTEC FC4100 series User Manual

STEP PASS - Setting the Step Pass

Use this function when the cut line is jagged in detailed shapes such as small characters with tiny
curves. The jaggedness is caused by an excessive number of line segments for small characters.
It also slows the cutting speed.
Use this function to skip or PASS some of the STEPS, make the line smoother and to accelerate
the cutting time.

The STEP PASS can be set in a 21-step range from 0
to 20. The higher the number, the more steps of data
will be passed between each data point. These data
points represent actual cut line segments.
Press the ENTER key to register your settings.
Press the MENU key to cancel MENU mode.
NOTE: Your STEP PASS setting is retained in the plotter's internal memory even when the
plotter is turned off.
NOTE: Excess settings may deform the shape of characters, therefore this value should be
kept at zero if it is not needed. Always perform a cut test to verify the settings.
