Setting knife depth and pressure
(Media must be loaded in the cutter before knife pressure can be tested).
Each keystroke can initiate an internal test or movement of head or media.
Keep fingers and other body parts away from the cutting area. There are hazardous moving parts.
1.
Press three times. Knife Pressure will appear on the LCD.
2.
Press . Current knife pressure will appear on the LCD.
3.
Press or to change the knife pressure. The value will change
1.
Press to perform the internal knife pressure test.
2.
Press to confirm the chosen knife pressure.
3.
Press to leave the pressure unchanged.
Once is pressed, the current knife pressure value will be set
automatically to the new value and the cutter will cut the knife pressure
test pattern.
Peel out the rectangle and inspect the media backing.
The knife pressure is set correctly when the test pattern cuts through the substrate completely, the substrate
is removed and the blade tip visibly scratched the front side of the media backing. The blade should never
cut through the backing; just leaving a light impression of the cut pattern on the liner.
Because the knife pressure setting depends on the thickness and type of media to be cut, adjusting knife
pressure will require a little practice. In general, the knife depth must be increased when using thicker types
of self adhesive substrates and decreased when using thinner types of media.
Adding lamination to the material will also require an increase in knife pressure.
4.
Press twice to leave the knife pressure menu.
After setting the cutting depth and/or the knife pressure, perform a thorough visual
check of the knife blade, which can be seen protruding from the knife holder, and test cutting results on a
roll of scrap media.
Do not operate the cutter if the knife blade cuts through the media backing, as this will
seriously damage the cutter’s rubber cutting strip and the knife.
To prevent damage to the cutter, check the depth of the knife blade tip and the quality
of the cut each time you load a different type of media into the cutter.
As the knife ware increases then the knife pressure will have to be increased to maintain
