Hints and Tips
• Change the waste matrix core at the same time as the rewound finished media, this will allow for correct
waste removal. Always ensure that the cores are same thickness and diameter.
• Give your self around 1.5 metres of leader and tail on the ends of your printed job to allow for threading
your machine and job completion.
• Your waste matrix should have a minimum of a 4mm of border to allow for successful removal of the
waste, any smaller and the matrix is liable to snap.
• Always print and cut more labels than your job requires.
• Your media should always run parallel through the machine, use the mandrel discs as you zero position.
• Always leave the lamination nip roller, media feed roller latched up and cutter pinch roller when not using
the machine. If the rollers are left in the same place for any extended periods of time the rollers could
become flat.
• The use of dimensionally stable media is an essential pre-requisite to obtaining high cut quality.
Additionally, media expansion or contraction may occur as a result of temperature variations. To improve
the dimensional stability of media, let it stabilize to the current environmental conditions before usage for a
minimum period of 24 hours
• Care must be taken with the dancer rollers, these can be easily damaged if the media becomes loose and
the bars drop to the base of the machine.
• When setting the machine up, the media must be aligned with the back plate of the dancer bar and
mandrels, failure to align the machine correctly will result in incorrect alignment whilst cutting and
slitting.
• Before cutting any new design, make sure the OPOS sensor on the cutting head is in its down position,
failure to do this may cause miss registration. Unless OPOS up/down is set to ‘On’
• The machine must be levelled using an accurate levelling device, the machine has been designed to have
adjustable feet.
• Place the machine close to the computer that will operate the machine, only a 2 metre or less USB cable
can be used to connect to the machine.
• Always test the ‘Knife Pressure’ setting on the same media before starting a job, this will help prevent any
