Gerber P2C™ 1600 Cutters
User’s Manual
Operation
2-3
The SPECIAL LOAD instruction is used to initiate registration of the OPOS markers
just before a contour cut is begun. See the section on OPOS for more
information about contour cutting.
The RECUT instruction recuts the last file sent to the cutter (provided that it fit in
the buffer).
When using the multiple recut function, the different copies will be cut in a way
that minimizes media waste. The distance between the copies can be
changed (See Section 2.4.18).
2.1.3 THE ONLINE KEY
The
key (ONLINE) toggles the cutter between online and offline operation.
When the
key is pressed, the selected mode (ONLINE or OFFLINE) is
displayed on the LCD.
Selecting OFFLINE suspends all operations in progress. Pressing the
key while
the cutter is offline will return the cutter to online status and the suspended
operation will resume.
While the cutter is offline, the following operations can be performed:
•
Press the
or
jogging key to move the tool carriage to the left or
right.
•
Press the
or
jogging key to scroll the media forward (towards you)
or backward (away from you). Scrolling the media is useful when it comes
time to manually cut the graphic from the rest of the media.
•
Press the
key (TOOL UP/DOWN) to raise or lower the active tool. The
tool is raised automatically if it is not moved for approximately eight
seconds.
2.1.4 THE MENU KEY
The
key (MENU) is used to select a menu. Pressing the
key will cause the
cutter to go offline and suspend all operations in progress. Pressing the
key
repeatedly will display the different menus one at a time. As the menu options
are on a loop, pressing the
key when the last option is displayed will
automatically return you to the first option.
The different menus are illustrated in Figure 2-2.
