Set the cutting speed

The speed at which the tool moves is determined by four different parameters: speed and acceleration while the

tool is down; speed and acceleration while the tool is up. These four parameters have been represented by just

one parameter so that you can change the speed quickly and easily.

This parameter is called

velocity

; it is the speed of the cutter when the tool is down. If the velocity is raised or

lowered, the other parameters are also raised or lowered accordingly.

NOTE:

The speed at which the cutter pulls the substrate from the roll is fixed at 200 mm/s (8 in/s).

Set the velocity

Turn on the cutter.

Press

. System setup appears on the screen. Press

Press

to Settings, then press

Press

to change the velocity, then press

to confirm. An asterisk appears by the velocity,

indicating that it is now the selected value.

Press

twice to leave the menu.

Set the speed parameters separately

Turn on the cutter.

Press

. System setup appears on the screen. Press

Press

to scroll through the menu until you reach Settings.

NOTE:

Velocity is the main speed parameter. The default value for the three other parameters is AUTO. This

means that they are linked to velocity (which is the speed when the tool is down). The AUTO parameters can be

set individually, but will then cease to be linked to the velocity parameter.

Perform length calibration

The cutter has been calibrated in the factory for standard 2-mil cast or 3-mil calendared vinyl. A different

calibration factor can be associated with each of the four users. This is particularly helpful for multi-colored

signs: it ensures that the parts in different colors match up, even if different types of vinyl are used.

For standard use, it is not necessary to calibrate the cutter. With standard vinyl, the accuracy is within 0.2%.

However, if high accuracy between different vinyls or colors is needed, then calibration is necessary.

Turn on the cutter, load substrate, and mount the knife.

NOTE:

The wider and longer the substrate, the more accurate the calibration will be. Use a piece of vinyl

of maximum width and a length that is approximately 1.5 times the width.

Press
