(Length Calibration)
The S One cutters are friction-feed machines. This means the cutting length depends on the
thickness of the material.
The cutters have been calibrated in the factory for standard 2-mil cast or 3-mil calendared
vinyl. Each user (the S One has a total of 4) can hold a different calibration factor.
This is very helpful for multi-coloured signs. It ensures that the parts in different colours
match up, even if different types of vinyl media are used.
ATTENTION:
For standard use, it is not necessary to calibrate the machine. With
standard vinyl, the accuracy is within 0.2%. However, if high accuracy between
different vinyl or colours is needed, then calibration is necessary.
Calibrating the media (Length calibration):
1.
Power on the cutter and load the media.
2.
Press
.
3.
Scroll down with arrow and
press on Calibrations.
4.
Press length calibration.
The cutter will reload the media and perform the length calibration test. Take out the media
and measure the length of the cut line with a ruler (measuring device). The length that has
to be entered is the distance between line 1 and line 2 as shown in the figure below.

LENGTH CALIBRATION PATTERN
NOTE:
The cutter will only be as accurate as the accuracy of the calibration itself.
If the ruler (measuring device) is inaccurate, then re-calibrating may worsen the
cutter’s accuracy. The
accuracy of the calibration will be reflected directly in the
cuts. Set the cutter to Metric to do the calibration.
