Setting the Tool Condition
This section describes how to make the tool, speed, force, acceleration, and tool number settings. Before cutting
media, the following four cutter-pen conditions must be specified.
•
FORCE
•
SPEED
•
ACCELERATION
•
OFFSET
CAUTION
It may result to damaging the cutter blade or the cutting mat if the blade is extended too much.
Tool Conditions (Cutter Blade) for Each Media Type
Refer to the Cutter Blade Manual.
Blade Part Nos., Displayed Blade Types, and CUTTER OFFSET Values
Refer to the Cutter Blade Manual.
Reference Pen Conditions for Plotting Pen
Pen type Part no. Force Speed (cm/s) Acceleration
Oil-based ballpoint pen KB700 series 12 to 31 60 or under 2 or under
Water-based fiber-tip pen KF700 series 10 to 12 20 or under 2 or under
To prolong the pen life, set the FORCE to the lowest setting, and set the SPEED after checking to confirm that
there are no faint lines or other problems during plotting.
Supplement
Acceleration will become coarser, but the cut time is decreased when the settings for the speed and acceleration is set higher.
Especially with the large media, good cut quality might not be achieved by rumbling media. Decrease the values for the speed and
acceleration settings in that case.
Acceleration will become good, but the cut time will increase when the settings for the speed and acceleration is set smaller.
