6.6 Setting the PAGE LENGTH
This function is used to specify the length of individual pages when using roll
media. This function should be set for long-axis cutting or plotting that exceeds 2
m in length.
CAUTION:• The precision of the PAGE LENGTH function is guaranteed for feeding a 10-

meter page. (The actual precision depends on the use of Graphtec-desig-
nated film and the cutting conditions. Be sure to observe the following points.)
- The basket must be used.
- Film: Use 3M plastic-backed film.
- Cutting conditions: Specify 30 or less for SPEED, and 4 or less for QUALITY.
- Feed out only the amount of media required for the operation.
- In locations with high humidity, leave the media in the operating environment
for at least 10 minutes to acclimate it.
- Position the pinch rollers at least 25 mm inside the edges of the media.
• For long-axis cutting or plotting, exercise special caution when loading color
adhesive film or plotting paper. Make sure that the left and right edges are uni-
formly taut. If the media is loaded incorrectly, the media may come loose from
the pinch rollers during cutting or plotting.
• When using roll media, either extend and load the length to be used before-
hand or use the media feed procedure ("5.4 Using the PRE FEED Function",
"6.2 Setting AUTO PRE FEED").
Beginning cutting or plotting without feeding the media first may generate a
position error or may cause the roll media to fall off the stock shaft.
Note: The pre-feed functions minimize media expansion and contrac-
tion, and to ensure stable media feed operations.
