When cutting wood, multiple passes may allow cutting of thicker materials. Using Color Mapping you can
adjust the focus point between passes down to the center point of the cut for the best results.
* The Fusion has two sets of Speed control for vector cutting applications. Checking the Speed Comp
selection box in the print driver will reduce the speed setting you have selected by one half. Speed Comp is
most useful for speeds of 1 to 10. Example: Cut a square at 5% speed. Then repeat the job at 5% speed and also
select Speed Comp. The second square will take twice as long to cut as the first square. Speed Comp gives
you more slower speed setting to work with. Always use Air Assist when cutting.
