Setting up The Cutter Plotter
(2) First align the blade tip with the tip of the cutter pen, and then extend the blade from that
position to suit the thickness of the media to be cut.
(3) As a guideline for determining the proper blade length, run a test cut (for instructions, see
Section 3.7
"Test Cutting"
and check that the medium is cut. In cases where the medium's
thickness cannot be accurately determined, adjust the blade length by gradually increasing the
blade length as you alternately run a test cut to check whether or not the medium can be cut.
Mounting the Cutter Pen
After the blade length has been adjusted, mount the cutter pen in the cutting plotter.
CAUTION
To prevent cutting your fingers, always handle the cutter blade with caution.
(1) Loosen the pen-holder screw and then mount the cutter pen. While pressing the pen holder
upward, press the cutter pen plunger fully into the pen holder.
(2) Once the cutter pen is properly positioned, tighten the pen-holder screw.
