Important Note and Advice in Using Special Material
This section describes some tips and important notes when using special materials with this unit. Note,
however, that depending on various factors or the usage environment, the use of some materials with this
unit may not be possible. Before actual use, carry out test feed and a cutting test to make sure the material is
suitable for use with this unit.
Rubber materials for sandblasting stencils
It is important to note that the weight of the material may make motor errors more likely to occur. In order
to cope with the weight of the material, we recommend to you the following settings and method to load
the material.

Set [QUALITY] to [HEAVY] .


We advise you to use the material after cutting it to below 500mm length. When the length is over 500mm,
load the material so that the distance from its lower end hanged down to the platen will be below
500mm.

If material feed is not smooth, creating an area of only carrier paper about 15 millimeters wide at both
flanks of the material and positioning the pinch rollers above these strips of carrier paper can make mate-
rial feed more stable.
Material with sprocket-feed holes
Material for sprocket-feed use has feed holes along both edges. If the material is loaded with these holes
lying over the pinch rollers, material feed cannot be performed correctly. When you are using this with this
machine, load it as shown in the figure.
About the Separating Knife
It may not be possible to sever some thicker materials (such as rubber sandblasting templates) or thin, flimsy
materials. Material with a strong tendency to reroll (that is, with a warp in the direction of the cutting surface)
may catch on the carriage after being cut off. Do not sever those materials with the separating knife.
When using the heavy material
Note that, when the heavy material is left loaded for a period of time, it may fall from the machine due to its
own weight and cause malfunctions of the machine as it becomes overloaded with the pinch rollers. When
the heavy material is used, set [QUALITY] for cutting to [HEAVY].
