Hints and Tips for Cutting

Setting the [PREFEED] menu item to “ENABLE” makes the machine automatically feed out media and
take it up again before cutting. This makes it unnecessary to run out media to the rear of the machine
before the operation.

The end of the cap for the blade holder may scrape or damage the printed surface. If this happens,
increase the amount of blade extension.

Performing a Cutting Test
For high-quality cutting, then before you perform actual cutting, we recommend carrying out a cutting test to check the
cutting quality for the media. Before carrying out a cutting test, detach the media clamps.
Performing a Cutting Test
Hold down for one second or longer to
perform a cutting test.
You can perform the cutting test at any location
you want by using
to move the cutting carriage. The front
cover may be left open during movement, but be
sure to close it before you press
.
Peel off the cut shapes to verify the cutting quality, and make the setting for blade force. If two shapes
peel off together, make the setting for blade force.
When Cutting the Printed Surface
Hardened ink is thick. When cutting a printed surface, first perform a cutting test on the actual surface that has been
printed.
