5. Setting Area Parameters [AREA]
In the main screen ( page 9), click [AREA] to open the [Area Parameters] screen.
In the [Area Parameters] screen, you set values regarding to the plotting area.
CAUTION
• Although plotting can be performed at a position on and outside of the push rollers when the
expand limit is set to a positive value in [Set Expand Limit] under [Expand], some media may not
be fed properly because the push rollers move on the plotted surface.
• When expand limit parameters are set to +8 mm (+0.315 inch) or higher in expand settings,
please refrain from setting "Initial Blade" to "Outside" on the "Tools Setting" screen (page 18).
With this setting condition, the carriage can be moved to the outside of the media, causing the
blade to break.
Reference
• When turning mirror mode on or off, the Area settings are initialized.
· You should set a Expand setting before sending the plotting data to the plotter, When you change
the setting, the plotter clears data in the buffer memory to perform initial settings.
· In [Area], set the values in [Set Upper Right] and [Set Lower Left] so that the distance between
them is equal to or larger than 10 mm (0.394 inch).
