Motion Control Software
Easicut communicates with the cutting machine through
separate motion control software which resides in a pro-
gram named PLOTTERW. Easicut controls the cutting ma-
chine by sending messages to the PLOTTERW program
which in turn executes the control commands. Similarly,
Easicut is informed of the current machine status through
messages received from PLOTTERW. The process of load-
ing a file into the cutting machine actually consists of sev-
eral steps. Easicut converts the drawing file to a CMD file
and sends the name of the CMD file to the PLOTTERW
program. The PLOTTERW program reads the CMD file, con-
verts the contents of the file to cutting machine control com-
mands and then executes those commands.

Simulate Mode
The simulate mode is active any time the currently active
drawing file window is opened for cutting simulation. A draw-
ing file must first be opened in the layout mode before it can
be changed to the simulate mode. A simulate mode draw-
ing window may be transformed back into a layout mode
drawing window by selecting the Layout Mode option. A
simulate mode drawing file may not be placed in the cutting
mode window. Any number of drawing files may be opened
in the simulate mode windows. The simulate mode refers
only to the Easicut application and not to the machine it-
self. The cutting machine can cut a file regardless of the
Easicut application mode.
Supervisor
The supervisor user is the Easicut 1.06y security system
manager or system administrator. This user has the highest
available privilege level and is the only user authorized to
access the Calibration and the User Management options.
There is one and only one supervisor user in the authorized
user list. If the security system is disabled, the supervisor
user is not recognized.
Table Bite
If the pattern in a drawing file is longer than the available
length of the cutting table, the drawing is divided into two or
more table bites. Each such bite is processed as an indi-
vidual pattern and table bites are processed sequentially
from the beginning of the drawing file to the end.
Tool
A tool refers to a physical cutting, punching or marking imple-
ment which may be attached to a tool mount of the cutting
machine.
User Interface Terminal
The User Interface Terminal (UIT) is the operator control con-
sole for the labeling machine. It is located at the front of the
machine. The UIT includes a keypad, four line display and a
joystick.
