CHAPTER 3
CUTTER SETTINGS and SPECIAL FUNCTIONS
INTRODUCTION
Most of the frequently-used settings are available directly from the
keyboard. However, when setting up the cutter, you must fine tune it to
match the computer setup. Furthermore, the MENU mode operation gives
you access to the setup sheet, allowing you to change special functions
that are not used frequently.
This chapter contains information on how to enter the MENU mode, plot
the setup sheet, and use it to change 32 different settings.
CHANGING THE USER LANGUAGE
It is possible to change the user language of your cutter, thus changing
the setup sheet language. This can be done by pressing two keys
simultaneously during power-up. The combinations are:
