7.2 Specifying the OFFSET FORCE
Because the direction which the cutter blade’s tip is facing cannot be confirmed during the cutting
plotter’s initialization routine, “initial blade control” is required to properly orient the blade’s tip. This
function specifies the cutting force to be applied during initial blade control. Particularly when cutting
thick film, the OFFSET FORCE setting is used to control the rotation of the blade’s tip during initial
blade control. The OFFSET FORCE need not be specified for film of regular thickness.
