Setting Of The Initial Down Force - GRAPHTEC FC8000 SERIES User Manual

Setting of the Initial Down Force

The initial down-force setting is effective when tangential mode is selected.
Tangential control is generally used for the cutting of thick media. With thick film, additional time is
required for the cutter blade to penetrate the media fully, even when the necessary cutting force is applied.
The cutting operation starts before the cutter blade has fully penetrated the media, causing uncut sections
to be left.
When the initial down force is specified, this force is used as the cutting force immediately after the
lowering of the tool when tangential emulation is selected, enabling the cutter blade to penetrate the media
rapidly. (As an example, if the cutting force is 25 and the initial down force is 4, for example, the cutting
force applied immediately after the pen is lowered will be 29)
