Test Cutting

Execute test cutting to confirm the tool
conditions.
In the test cutting, the machine cuts two
squares.
• When the cutter blade is worn and dull, you can
use it temporarily by enhancing the value of
PRESSURE. However, you are recommended to
replace the worn cutter blade with a new one to
ensure a satisfactory cutting quality.
When the tool conditions are proper, the results
of test cutting are as follows:
• The two squares are cut perfectly.
• The base media remains uncut.
• No corner of the squares is rounded.
• No corner of the squares is curled-up.

Cutting Data

You can start cutting after completion of setting up a tool,
a media and the tool conditions.

Setting the origin

The origin is a reference point for the cutting data.
When the origin is changed, set the new origin before
starting cutting.
• Change the origin before cutting the next data;
otherwise, cutting will be performed over the
previous data.
