C. CONFIGURING THE CUTTER SETTINGS
Before you begin using PressPrint to produce output, you must first enter the
custom cutter settings for your digital press. These settings are determined at the
factory and are provided on a sheet labeled ÒCutter SettingsÓ which is included
with the unit. These settings are also indicated on a label attached to the rear of the
unit. The cutter settings are software selectable and assure that the cut line will
accurately be aligned with the printed image. Once entered, these settings will
seldom need to be changed.
To enter the custom settings for your digital press, open the PressPrint software.
Then, click on the Cut menu and select
Cutter Settings
. The Cutter window
appears.
Enter the custom values noted on the sheet labeled ÒCutter SettingsÓ or on the
printerÕs rear panel label, and select
OK.
The Pressure option controls the overall cut pressure applied by the cutter. Once
entered, this setting should not need to be changed. Instead, when adjusting for the
various types of print media, use only the Cutting Pressure slide on the front of the
unit. See Section 3-D for information on when and how to adjust the Cutting
Pressure slide.
The X Offset and Y Offset options fine-tune the position of the overall cut line. If
these values are slightly inaccurate, the cut line will not appear centered around the
printed image. The X Offset dictates the position of the cut line along a fixed
horizontal axis and is measured in thousandths of an inch from the left-hand side of
the page to the left-hand edge of the first cut line. Therefore, increasing the X Offset
moves the overall cut line further away from the left-hand side of the page and
decreasing it moves it closer (Hint: 100 thousandths of an inch equals .1Ó or
2.54mm).
