FlexCut can be set to OFF, Fast, or Accurate. When the cutter is set to Fast or Accurate, it will
alternately cut a certain length with full pressure and a certain length with reduced pressure.
The advantage of the FlexCut feature is that it cuts completely through the material. Moreover,
it also allows the material to stay together using small media bridges.
Fast is the quickest mode, but it is less precise due to the pressure changes during the cutting
procedure. Accurate is much slower, but much more precise because the cutter stops at every
change of pressure.
There are 5 typical FlexCut parameters:
1.
Full pressure:
This parameter determines full pressure, used during FlexCut mode.
2.
Full pressure cut length:
This parameter determines the length that is cut with full
pressure, usually the length that will be cut all the way through.
3.
Flex pressure cut length
: This parameter determines the length that will be cut with
reduced pressure or without pressure. This is usually a much smaller value than the full
pressure cut length
–
this is the length of the media bridges.
4.
FlexCut pressure:
This parameter determines the pressure of the Flex pressure cut
length. This is usually a reduced pressure so that the knife only scratches the media or
only cuts it halfway through.
5.
FlexCut Velocity:
FlexCut uses higher knife pressures. Higher knife pressures need lower
cutting speed. With this parameter, the velocity of FlexCut can be set independently from
the normal cutting velocity.
Two tools can be used on the S One. A knife or a pen. If the tool is changed, then use this menu
to set the machine to use this tool. This is explained in section 2.2.1.
