General Information

4.
Control Panel : -
The control panel includes 12 keys which can be used to
control cutter activity, including remote mode for computer control, local
mode for manual operation, and menu mode. Each control panel
function is explained in Section 2.1.
5.
Display:
- The 2x16 character display informs the user of the current status
of the cutting process or actions that need to be taken.
6.
Sensors:
- The sensors detect the absence of media to prevent the knife
from damaging the cutting strip. When the cutter is turned on, the sensors
cause the media to move all the way to the front edge of the platen.
7.
Pinch rollers
: - The pinch rollers (one at each side) exert downward force
through the media and onto the media sleeves. This squeezing between
the pinch rollers and media sleeves is what allows the cutter to
accurately advance and retract the media.
The D1600 Pro SL is equipped with two low pressure rollers in the middle to
keep vinyl media flat.
8.
Cutting strip
: - This reddish-brown strip prevents damage to the knife tip
when the cutter is running and no media has been loaded. Because
cutting is done on the cutting strip, it is essential that it remain intact.
9.
Manual slitting knife
:
- When the cutter is done cutting a graphic, move
the media forward by pressing the
key. Use the manual slitting knife to
cut the finished graphic free from the media roll. Leave the loaded
media in place, ready for the next cut job.
10.
Stand: -
A stand comes standard with the Gerber P2C 1600 cutter.
