TIP: Even with the 

Center Point 

function activated, a character will still cut proportion-

ate to the Key Height Character unless 

Real Dial Size

 is selected. For example, a lower-

case letter may not cut exactly centered over the center point because it is being cut 
proportionate to the Key Height Character. Press 

Real Dial Size

 for a centered cut.

TIP: To turn off modes and functions, simply press the specific mode or function button 

again until the button is no longer backlit in green.
