Sheet Off Margin; Pre-Feed Length - MUTOH Ultima User Manual

4.2.2. Sheet Off Margin

With the sheet-off margin, you can select a value from 1 mm to 250 mm. Before performing a sheet-off the
Ultima cutting plotter will forward the media equally to the selected margin.
To do this, proceed as follows:
Step 1 : In the general setting select 'Sheet Off Margin' by using the [UP] or [DOWN] key.
Step 2 : Press the [ENTER] key to confirm your selection. The actual Sheet Off Margin will now be shown
on the display
Step 3 : By using the [UP] or [DOWN] key select an appropriate value.
Step 4 : Press the [ENTER] key to confirm.
Notes
To cancel the changes of the parameter, press the [CANCEL] key. The display will show the previous
value for the parameter.
When you press the [EXIT] key the changed value will be ignored and you go back to the previous menu.

4.2.3. Pre-Feed Length

This parameter is directly related to the loading of ROLL media. The Pre-Feed length or SHUFFLE length
has to be set before a roll is loaded.
There are three reasons for using a Pre-Feed Length :
1. The length of media set for the Pre-Feed length parameter will be pulled off the roll, before the
cutting job commences. This will prevent media from being pulled off the roll at high speed and
acceleration. High speed can only be properly used on condition that the media can move freely,
without having to be pulled off the roll during a job.
2. Before actually cutting starts the complete length of the media is shuffled back and forth through the
cutter, ensuring that the pressure rollers have a discrete path while the user has the time to verify if
the vinyl transport goes well.
3. Your Ultima cutter has been equipped with MUTOH's unique AUTO-SHEET-OFF feature, to
automatically cut off media at the end of a cutting sequence. Following an automatic PAGE
command or a manual PAGE command initiated via the control panel, the cutter will shuffle through
the pre-set Pre-Feed length of media, to ensure that their is enough media left for a possible replot.
If there is not enough media left, the cutter will stop before the end of the assigned media length.
