6.0 Operation
6.11.2 Backgauge Glide Control
The Backgauge Glide Control is used to manually position the backgauge. The speed of the
backgauge will depend upon where the actuator is pressed. Press farther from center for a faster
speed and closer to center for a slower speed. To move the backgauge forward, press downward.
To move the backgauge backward, press upward. Pressing the center displays true position.
6.11.3 IN/MM Key
This key toggles the display to show the position and programmed send values in inches (e.g. 5.250),
inch fractions to the nearest 1/64" (e.g. 5_1/4), or millimeters (e.g. 133.3).
6.11.4 Air Table ON/OFF Key
This key turns the air pump on and off.
6.11.5 CANCEL Key
The CANCEL key closes the current mode. Some modes need multiple presses of CANCEL to
return to the Send mode.
6.11.6 SEND Key
The SEND key is used to send the backgauge to any valid position. If an attempt is made to send the
backgauge to an illegal position, an error message will be displayed. In the Job mode, the SEND key
will move the backgauge to the location in the Current Cut box (See Section 6.12.3 ).
The job must be open and running to send to the location in the Current Cut box.
6.11.7 Push-Out Key
The push-out key will move the backgauge forward 5 inches (127 MM) (or to the most forward
position) and then return it to its previous position. This allows paper to be removed from the cutter
without putting hands under the knife and clamp.
