Changing the Order of Cutting
By changing the order of pieces of data for cutting transmitted from the host computer, you can change the order
of cutting them. (Sorting function)
When data to be cut with a single stroke cannot be cut with a single stroke because of the order of pieces of data
transmitted from a software application, you can cut the data with a single stroke by changing the order of cutting
them.
In the following case, data cannot be cut with a single stroke.
Some application software transmit data to this machine in the order of creating and editing data.
• For example, when data read by a scanner has been revised, the data cannot be cut with a single stroke because
the part revised is cut later.
When cutting data by sorting
In sorting, data is cut as blocks. A block means movement from a down stroke with a pen to an up stroke with a
pen. After one block has been cut, a block whose starting point is closest to the already cut block is cut.
The starting point and cutting direction of host data are not changed.
Circle : Starting point of data = Starting point of cutting
Arrow : Data direction = Cutting direction
Numbers : Order of block cutting
With the sorting function, you can do the following:
When you turn the sorting function "ON", the following functions are activated:
Auto-feeding function:
This function is used to detect the length of data to be cut and to draw out a medium whose length is the same
as that of the data beforehand.
Area control function:
This function is used to specify an area beforehand and to preferentially cut blocks of data that fit into the
area.
When there is no block of data that fits into the area, the area is enlarged so that the data is cut gradually in
the medium-feeding direction.
