Setting Conditions
This function lets you register four different groups of conditions in the plotter’s memory. These
conditions greatly affect the finished quality of the cutting operation. The desired group can be
quickly loaded by simply pressing the corresponding select key 1 through 4 at the control panel.
Each group consists of four parameters as described below:
Cutting Force (Pen Pressure):
Sets the force to be applied by the cutter blade during
cutting, the hole punching force during pouncing, and the plotter pen pressure during
plotting.
Speed:
Sets the traveling speed of the lowered pen.
Quality:
Sets the acceleration rate of the pen during cutting or plotting.
Cutter Offset:
Sets the cutter blade control factor that greatly affects the shape of
corners. This parameter consists of two parameters such as the tool type and the offset
value. Select the tool you wish to use first, then set the value.
NOTE:
The selected conditions greatly affect the finished quality of cutting operations.
NOTE:
Raising the SPEED and QUALITY values result in lower precision but reduced overall
cutting time. This is useful when making test runs.
NOTE:
Lowering the SPEED and QUALITY values result in high precision but increased
overall cutting time.
Select the Tool from the Menu
Press the function key [F1] through [F4] corresponding to the
number of the group whose registered tool you wish to change.
Press the CONDITION key to select the tool.
Press the F4 key to select the tool you wish to use. A
blinking cursor appears next to your choice.
Press the RIGHT or LEFT ARROW key to scroll
