Fine-tuning the Cutting Conditions
You can accurately set items such as the blade force, movement speed, and blade offset to match the nature of
the media and the shape to cut. First, perform a cutting test, and then determine and enter the setting values.
After entering the setting values, perform a cutting test again and check the results. Repeat the process of per-
forming a cutting test and making the settings several times to find the optimal setting values.
