5.2.2. Installing the plotter driver
To use the cutting plotter with CorelDraw or Freehand, you first need to install the plotter as a printer on
your computer system. The printer driver is located on the supplied CD. Simply run the driverSecabo.exe
file in the printer driver directory. To install the printer driver, you need to select the virtual interface you
installed previously.
After installing the printer driver, you can plot jobs directly from CorelDraw, Freehand or Adobe Illustrator
(Version 11 or newer) on your Secabo Cutting Plotter by selecting File - Print.
5.2.3. Using Artcut
Your Secabo Cutting Plotter includes Artcut cutting software. Please refer to the Artcut User Manual for
information on installing and using the software.
5.3. Fitting and adjusting knives
• Take one of the cutter knives provided, and insert it into the knife holder so that the blade protrudes
from the front.
• Now turn the black part at the front to set the cutting depth.
• The depth is set correctly when you feel a light scratching on carefully rubbing your fingertip over
the tip of the knife. As the knife depth setting depends on the media you will be cutting, you may
need to re-adjust later.
• You can press the pin at the rear of the knife holder to remove and replace the blade you have
inserted at any time. Caution – danger of injury!
As various media thicknesses require different knife settings, or even special blades, you may
need to repeat the steps detailed above.
Knife setting correct
Knife setting too deep
Knife setting too shallow
