Creation PCUT SERIES - Troubleshooting Common Issues; Character Quality and Paper Handling Problems

7．Troubleshooting
7.1 Question: will the characters below 1cm or 0.5 inch are deformed?
Answer: when cutting small characters, please set blade offset (compensation) in the
software, for example, in Letter 2005 software：
(1). Click“cutting icon”once, to open the cutting control panel。
(2). Click“Options button”once, to open the option window。
(3). Use 12 as value for“blade offset”。
(4). Checkmark“blade orientation”box.
(5). Exit from options and from the cutting control panel to activate the change.
(6). Go back to the control panel to cut.
The cutting speed of the cutter shall be set below 20。
7.2 Question: Why there is an additional stroke after finishing cutting
Answer: 1. check if the tip of cutter is flexible when it is up and down 。
2. change the Master software if there are some deviant letters。
3. check if there are some problems on the files you are ready to output。
7.3 Question: why does zigzag happen to the cutter?
Answer: as cutter PCUT motor features high power and speed, so the cutting speed shall be
adjusted according to size of character. Generally, to cut small glossy characters with
high requirement for precision, the speed shall not exceed 40. In most cases, the speed at
the shift 50-60 is favorable. To cut big characters of large quantity within shortest time,
the speed can be 70, 80, but since step distance of motor is so long that evident zigzag
occur. Therefore, you should set the speed to specific size of characters, and the
relationship between speed and size of characters please refer to following table:
Size of font（inches） Size of font（mm）
SPEED
0,5
＜10
10-20
0,5 - 1 10-30 30
1 - 2 30-50 40-50
2 - 20 50-500 60
>20
＞500
70-80
7.4 Question: why do the paper deviate when it runs by a large margin?
Answer: the paper feed bracket containing paper roll shall be completely parallel to paperweight
wheel, for big roll of materials, loosen it prior graving to prevent excessive obstruction
when plotting or graving. For the machines with four paperweight wheels, when plotting
big image or characters back and forth, use the two paperweight wheels at sides instead
of press the four down simultaneously. Unequal abrasion of the two wheels also may
