  • Page 28: Page Key

    PAGE key The PAGE key is available only in online mode. It has two functions: PAGE T Function 1: To perform the Auto-Sheet-Off function. The position REPLOT where the auto-sheet-off occurs depends on the situation. If no design has been cut at the spot where the tool head is parked when pressing the PAGE key, the cutter will auto-cut at the present location.

  • Page 29: Menu Keys

    Menu keys The MENU selection keys allow you to cycle through the various cutter parameters to view or change them. The parameters that can be modified are TOOL, FORCE, SPEED, ACCELERATION, and PAGE LENGTH. Each is listed on the control panel. The selected parameter is shown with an LED.

  • Page 30: General Procedure To Change Settings On The Cutter

    GENERAL PROCEDURE TO CHANGE SETTINGS ON THE CUTTER 1. Make sure you have power to the cutter and that the cutter is in the offline mode. If you start with the cutter off (no power), T and there is no material loaded, the cutter will be in offline mode, which is indicated by the ONLINE LED being off.

  • Page 31: Tool Selection

    TOOL SELECTION The four tools listed on the control panel are actually four different sets of tool parameters. For each of the four tools you can register and store specific values for TOOLKIND (knife, drawing pen, or pounce) FORCE SPEED ACCELERATION OFFSET (knives only) POUNCING GAP (pouncing only).

  • Page 32: Toolkind Selection

    ƒ For cutting jobs, use only tools set to KNIFE. ƒ For plotting jobs, use only tools set to PEN. ƒ For pouncing jobs, use only tools set to POUNCE. ƒ When TOOL-UP is selected, the FORCE adjustment refers to the FORCE that will be used for automatic sheet-off.

  • Page 33: Force Selection

    FORCE SELECTION Force is the amount of downward pressure applied by a tool. You are able to adjust the amount of tool pressure applied by an individual tool so that you can cut varying thicknesses of material correctly or set the correct amount of pressure for a pen.

  • Page 34: First Range (15 - 100 Grams)

    Force settings are shown by one LED for the first range and combinations of LEDs for the second and third ranges. Since the actual numbers are not on the control panel, consult these tables to find the numerical equivalent of the LEDs shown. First Range (15 - 100 grams) Force settings in the first range are indicated by one blinking LED to indicate the cutting force.

  • Page 35: Speed Selection

    SPEED SELECTION The speed selection allows you to set the tool-down speed, the speed at which the tool moves through the material. 1. Switch the cutter offline . 2. Using the MENU selection keys, select the SPEED option (LED next to SPEED must be on).

  • Page 36: To Set The Page Length

    There are three reasons for using a PAGE LENGTH: T The length of material set for the PAGE LENGTH is pulled off the roll before the cutting job starts, thus preventing material from being pulled off the roll at high speed and acceleration. High speed movements— up to 40 ips, (1000 mm/s) and 4.0 G—can be achieved only when the material can move freely without having to be pulled off the roll during a job.

  • Page 37: Reset And Clear Function

    The cutting range is not limited by the Page Length that you have set. If a design that exceeds the shuffle length is sent to the cutter, it will react as follows: T The first vector that exceeds the limit will be cut using reduced speed for the distance exceeding the limit.
