Cut method

This setting can be used to select standard cut or synchro cut.

Note:

Use Synchro Cut when you have to define a non-standard paper size in 

your application. 
The values selected for leading or trailing edge are taken into account when 
using Synchro Cut.

Plot Center

This setting can be used to enable or disable centering of the plot on the paper. 
If the center setting is disabled, the plot will be positioned in the upper 
left-hand corner of the page. 

If Standard Cut is selected, the plot is printed and the media is cut according to 
the standard cut functionality. If Plot Center in ON, the plot is shifted up/down 
and left/right to be centered on the selected bounding box.

Note:

If you print a plot that exceeds standard length, the machine 

automatically switches to synchro cut to prevent you from losing information.

If Synchro Cut is selected, the bounding box of the plot sets hard clip limits. If 
Plot Center is ON, the plot is shifted left/right to be centered on the page.
