5.8. Cutting test
• Press the Text key twice to perform a cutting test. The cutting plotter will now cut a square contai-
ning a circle divided into four quadrants.
• The cutting test helps you verify the knife holder setting and cutting force. The cutting test should
give you clean and straight cuts in the loaded media; there should be no damage to the backing.
• If the test cuts through the backing, either the cutting force is too high, or the blade or knife holder
setting is incorrect. Change these settings and repeat the cutting test.
• You will also need to change the settings, in case of imprecise or too shallow cuts.
