2.4.13 MEDIA SENSOR
The MEDIA SENSOR submenu is used to activate or deactivate the media
sensors. The sensors detect the presence and absence of media to prevent
damage to the cutting strip and knife tip.
The active setting is marked with an asterisk (
!
) on the LCD.
2.4.14 AUTOLOAD
The A UTOLOA D option allows the user to control how vinyl is pulled from the
roll. When AUTOLOAD is ON, the cutter will automatically unroll the vinyl as
needed. When A UTOLOA D is OFF, the user should manually unroll sufficient
vinyl before beginning to cut.
The default AUTOLOAD setting is ON. The best results and performance are
guaranteed when using this setting.
The active setting is marked with an asterisk (
!
) on the LCD.
2.4.15 TOOL COMMAND
TOOL COMMAND is used to determine whether the DM/PL and HP-GL
pen/knife-select commands (the P and SP commands, respectively) are
ignored or accepted.
When the TOOL COMMAND option is set to “ACCEPT”, the P or SP commands
will change the selected tool in the cutter according to the suffix that follows
the pen/knife command. When a P2 command is sent, the cutter’s LCD will
prompt the user with the following message: “INSERT PEN”. When the TOOL
COMMAND option is set to “IGNORE”, the pen/knife commands are ignored.
The default setting is “ACCEPT”.
The active setting is marked with an asterisk (
!
) on the LCD.
2.4.16 LOAD ON W CMD
The LOAD ON W CMD submenu will only be displayed if the PLOT LANGUAGE is
set to DM/PL (See Paragraph 2.4.4). When receiving the DM/PL Window-
command (W-command), LOAD ON W CMD determines whether media is
loaded apart from the scaling function. In addition to scaling, the W-command
is very useful when cutting long signs. Media loading will go more smoothly
with the W-command because sufficient media will be pulled from the roll at
once. Then, even when AUTOLOAD is off, there is no need to unroll the media
manually.
