Load length
This parameter is directly related to media load mode.
Refer to
Load mode on page 104
The Load length or shuffle length must be set before loading media. There are 3 reasons for
using a Load Length:

The length of media set for the Load length parameter is pulled off the roll, before starting
the cutting job. This prevents pulling media off the roll when accelerating. High speed can
only be properly used on condition that the media can move freely.

Before the actual cutting starts the complete length of the media is shuffled back and forth
through the cutter, ensuring the pressure rollers have a discrete path while the user has
the time to verify if the media transports well.

Your Kona / Kona apparel cutter is equipped with an auto sheet-off feature. If the
autoshuffle is on, the Kona / Kona apparel automatically cuts off media at the end of a
cutting sequence. Following an automatic PAGE command or a manual PAGE command
initiated via the control panel, the cutter shuffles through the pre-set load length of media,
to ensure that there is enough media left for a possible replot. If there is not enough media
left, the cutter stops before the end of the assigned media length. The cutter will not initiate
the media again in between 2 contour cutting jobs.
To set the load length, proceed as follows.
