Calibrating the Cutter
Calibrating the Cutter
If your cuts are not aligned correctly, you can adjust the plotter cutter
calibration values previously set at the factory. You begin by using the
Setup option on the Main Menu screen to calibrate the cutter.
Setting cutter calibration values
When you enter values in the Cutter Calibration fields, the values must
be positive or negative whole numbers. Each increment of the number
adjusts the cut made by .001 inch. For instance:
1 sets a positive change of .001 inch (.0025 mm)
-
1 sets a negative change of .001 inch (.0025 mm)
2 sets a positive change of .002 inch (.005 mm)
-
2 sets a negative change of .002 inches (.005 mm)
Where the change occurs depends upon the field you set:
In the Horizontal(x) field:
• Positive values adjust the cutter toward the machine.
• Negative values adjust the cutter toward the leading edge of the
tape.
In the Vertical(y) field:
• Positive values adjust the cutter toward the bottom edge of the
tape.
• Negative values adjust the cutter toward the top edge of the tape.
