3.4 Automating Tasks with OPOS
OPOS allows the user to automate certain tasks, thus reducing user intervention and
production time. When cutting multiple graphics, the user only needs to maneuver the
OPOS sensor above the Origin marker of the first graphic; cutting subsequent
graphics does not require additional user input.
There are two multiple-job situations in which OPOS can be used:
¾
When cutting multiple (copies of a) graphic(s) on the same media roll.
¾
When cutting the same graphic on multiple media sheets.
Most automated tasks are organized from within the cutting software. However, when
the same graphic contour needs to be cut out, then the automatic tasks also involve
some manual manipulation.
Before using the automating features, note the amount of your cutter’s RAM. If the
cutter’s RAM is
greater
than the job’s file size, then the automating features may be
used. If the cutter’s RAM is
less
than the job’s file size, then the automating features
may not be used.
3.4.1 Cutting multiple copies of a graphic on the same roll
If the same graphic design has been printed on a roll with equal distance between the
different graphics, then this feature can be used.
This way of automating is very software dependable. Usually are necessary
parameters need to be set in the software itself. In rare cases, the distance between
jobs needs to be set in the cutter itself. The only possible way to do this is to use
Summa Cutter Control
3.4.2 Cutting the same graphic on multiple media sheets
If the same graphic design has been printed on a multiple sheets, then this feature
can be used.
NOTE:
The sheets should be more or less the same size, and the graphics on
them should be oriented and positioned the same way.
First, load the media and check that the parameters of the OPOS markers are set
correctly.
