Page 52: Cutting Area
Cutting area Set the area in which the plotter performs cutting Point UL (plotting). The area that has a diagonal line extending from the origin to a given UL (upper left) point is the available cutting area. The cutting area setting will be cleared by performing sheet detection again.
Page 53: Digitization Operation
Functions in the Jog Mode Digitization operation The coordinates of the plotted figure relative to the origin are displayed on the host computer. Upon receiving the digitization command (DP;) from the host computer, the plotter is ready for digitization operation. To conduct digitization, install a sheet with patterns to select points on it.
Page 54: Set The Distance Compensation
Set the distance compensation When cutting is to be performed along a long length, the cut length may significantly differ from the data value, depending on the thickness of the sheet. Additionally, the diameter difference between the grit rollers may cause a significant difference in the sheet feeding distance between the right side and the left side. This function compensates those differences.

Page 61: Precautions In Inputting Data With Registration Marks
Cut Out Data with Registration Mark Precautions in inputting data with registration marks There are some limitations on preparing data with registration marks. In order to make full use of this function, read the following instructions carefully and prepare data with registration marks properly.
Page 62 No-plotting area around the registration marks An area around a registration mark (from the mark origin to the mark size area) is a non-plotting area. There must be no data plotted or stain in this area; otherwise, a wrong origin may be detected or a mark read error can occur.
Page 63 Cut Out Data with Registration Mark The size of, and the distance between, registration marks The size (B) of a registration mark suited for the distance (A) between the marks is as shown below. If the mark size (B) is too small relative to the distance (A), the marks may not be detected correctly. Be sure to prepare the registration marks with an appropriate size.
Page 64 Recommended size of the area defined with a set of four registration marks It is recommended that the size of the area defined with a set of four registration marks is in the range of A4 size (210 mm x 297 mm) to A3 size (297 mm x 420 mm). If you follow this recommendation, you can minimize wasteful spaces and arrange the designs efficiently.
Page 65 Cut Out Data with Registration Mark Precautions on registration mark detection Observe the following precautions on registration mark detection. • To ensure that the distance between registration marks is equal to the cutting length, input the distance between the printed marks found by the mark detecting function. (DIST.REVI P.3-20) In this case, scale compensation between the registration marks overrides distance compensation.
Page 66: Set For Detecting The Registration Marks

BEFOR With this setting, enter the scale compensation values and the trapezium compensation value before executing the registration mark detection. P.3-24 , P.3-27) Since the distance between registration marks is entered beforehand, rapid movement is expected when detecting.

TYPE1 TYPE2 Mark: TYPE1 Mark: TYPE2 COPIES A ( UP ), COPIES B ( LEFT ) Setting Description Effective when the same pattern is multi-printed at regular intervals. 1 ～...
Page 70 SKEW CHECK Setting Description Set the allowable range of the sheet feeding error when performing continuous 0 ～ 99mm copy. During continuous copying on a roll sheet, copies may be misaligned little by little because of sheet skewing. If the error in the B-axis coordinate of the TP1 mark has exceeded the allowable range, cutting operation is temporally stopped.
Page 71: Method Of Detecting Registration Marks
Cut Out Data with Registration Mark Method of detecting registration marks Registration marks are detected in two different ways; full-automatic detection and semi-automatic detection. Use the semi-automatic function when the TP1 is not located at the bottom right of the sheet, or when the supplied FineCut is to be used as the cutting software.
Page 72 Full-automatic detection of marks Use this function to correct the error in the detected length between registration marks as compared with the printed length between registration marks. For this purpose, measure the length A and B on the data beforehand. Measure the length between the registration marks.
