Running Cutting Tests
Test cutting can be performed after making the TOOL, SPEED, FORCE, ACCELERATION, and CUTLINE PATTERN settings to ensure that
the selected cutting conditions actually produce the desired cutting results. Check how far the blade cuts into the media and how the corners
are being cut. If the cutting results are not satisfactory, adjust the various settings and repeat the test cutting until the optimal settings are
achieved.
Here, you can either cut one test pattern based on the current values.
