Extend the blade little by little to the thickness of the media.
Optimal blade length is less than the thickness of film and
backing sheet combined, but more than the thickness of the
film.
Try cutting the film, and adjust so there is slight cutting on
the backing sheet. If the backing sheet gets cut completely,
reduce the blade length, and if the film does not get cut
completely, increase the blade length.
