1.11.1 Setup for Communication Test and Drawing
Press
an 8.5” x 11” sheet of paper to the mat. If your mat has NO adhesive, then use tape to firmly attach
the paper to the mat surface. Note: do NOT use this method when you begin using the blade. You must
spray your mat with adhesive so that when images are cut, they will remain attached to the mat.
While the paper can be placed anywhere on the mat, it is recommended that the paper be placed so that the
wheels will pass over the edges of the paper. This prevents adhesive from the mat sticking to the rollers.
Raise the pinch wheel levers in the back and slide the mat into the cutter, aligning the mat along the right
side of the cutter.
Make sure the wheels are aligned with white rectangles on the cutter
. (Refer to the
photo below). The pinch wheels can be slid left and right, as needed. Once under rectangles, drop the
levers. Note that only 2 wheels need to be used for this testing or when cutting most materials. The left-most
wheels can be moved to the far left side and left in the up position.
Assemble the pen holder as shown in
Section 1.06.
Make sure the pen will write by scribbling on scrap
paper. Then loosen the screw on the blade holder seat and insert the pen tool. Make sure the pen nib is
slightly above the cutting surface so that it will not drag across the paper. Firmly tighten the screw.
Refer to
Section 1.05 Control Panel
for instructions on the display panel. Set the origin by going off-line and
then using the
+
and
-
buttons to move the tool over to the front right corner of the paper (thus, most of the
mat and your material are behind the cutter at the start of the cut). Press the
Origin
button to set the origin.
Press the
Online
button to return to online mode. NOTE: you must reset the origin every time you turn on
the cutter.
For drawing, the
Force (f)
should be set to around 50
. If you find the pen isn’t drawing, then increase as
needed. The
Velocity (v)
(also referred to as
Speed
) can be set to whatever you like for drawing. Try 200.
In MTC, you will set the
Virtual Mat
to
Portrait
and make several other settings for doing the tests:
Wheels should be
located under white
rectangles.
Set origin in front right
corner of paper.
