Panel Cutting
To prevent skew of long media, utilize Panel Cutting when cutting.
•
When Panel Cutting is on, the machine will begin by dividing up partition length and continue cutting until one of the
following data breaks appears.
When the first partitioned area cut is finished, the machine will move to the next area, and repeat this until all areas
have been cut.
•
Data Breaks:
(1) No data sent for a few second after finishing cutting. (Time Out)
(2) A feed-related command is set. (GP-GL: F, FS commands, HP-GL: AF, AH, PG commands)
(3) HP-GL: SP0, NR, GP-GL: J0, SO.
(4) When commands from data breaks (2) and (3) appear, that command work will begin after the Panel Cutting is
finished.
•
Panel Cutting will continue for each piece of data when a data break is caused by a command, even if multiple pieces
of data are sent in before the cutting finishes (even when numerous pieces of Panel Cutting data are in the plotter
buffer).
•
When Panel Cutting and auto media transfer are both turned on, the machine will ignore automatic media transfer
length settings and continue working with priority of partition length plus something minutes ago (with footprints).
•
When Panel Cutting is on, and registration marks will not be seen ignored, and copy, initial feed, and cutting area
cannot be changed.
•
Panel Cutting cannot be done when one file of data makes the buffer full. Make sure to always send in data lower
than the buffer size.
•
This setting will be saved even if the power is shut off.
