(4) Press the
F1
(MODE 1) or
F3
(MODE 2) key to move the asterisk symbol and select MODE 1 or 2.
MODE 1: Overcutting is performed at the starting and end points of cutting as well as at corners
with a sharp angle in order to prevent incomplete cut areas of the medium. Moreover,
because the blade is moved across the medium’s surface in one stroke when the cutter’s
blade must rotate by a wide angle, this mode allows you to cut thicker media or perform
more detailed cutting than is possible in MODE 2.
MODE 2 : Overcutting is only performed at the starting and end points of cutting. Because MODE
2 performs simpler blade control of the travelling cutter blade than MODE 1, the overall
cutting time is shorter.
(5) Press the
F2
(STR.) or
F4
(END) key to move the blinking cursor next to the STR. or END
setting. In this status, press the or POSITION key to specify the overcut distance.
(6) When the displayed conditions are satisfactory, press the ENTER key. To exit this setting
operation without registering your new setting(s), press the NEXT PAGE key before pressing the
ENTER key.
