2.5.1 CUT BORDER
CUT BORDER is used to cut the border of the media area as defined during the
load sequence. This function can be used to verify the exact cutting area.
2.5.2 MENU PLOT
MENU PLOT produces a hard copy of the present cutter configuration, i.e. the
parameter settings in the USER CONFIG submenus described in Section 2.3. The
plot is organised by menu categories to show the current values for the various
USER CONFIG 1(->4) configurations. To run this plot, load a sheet of plotting
paper and install a pen.
NOTE
It is strongly recommended that a MENU PLOT be plotted each time
the cutter configuration is altered. The resulting plot should be kept
with the cutter documentation in order to provide other users with
details about the unit’s actual configurations.
2.5.3 CONFIDENCE CUT
The CONFIDENCE cut performs an electrical and mechanical test of the cutter
to make sure that the cutter is fully operational. A sheet of media at least
A3/A- size should be used for this plot.
2.5.4 DIN CUT
The DIN CUT performs an electrical and mechanical test of the cutter to check
cut quality. It also provides the user with feedback on knife setting, knife
pressure, knife offset, and cutting depth.
This cut is always run as a DIN A4 portrait/A-size image, regardless of the actual
size of the loaded media. If the loaded media is smaller than DIN A 4/A -size,
part of the outer box will be clipped (not cut). This cut is always executed in the
sequence prescribed by the ISO DIN standard.
