OFFSET ANGLE - Adjusting the Blade Offset Angle
Use this function to smooth curves on large characters or shapes. At the joints of each line
segment, the plotter stops cutting and very quickly rotates the blade tip. This ensures the
accurate cutting of the computer data. In some cases, it is better to bypass this blade rotation and
drag the blade in order to make the shape smoother and to shorten overall cutting time. This
action will result in a slightly different shape from the original computer data.
With this OFFSET ANGLE function, you may set the reference angle of connection, and eliminate
the blade control at the connections whose angles are under that reference angle.

NOTE: Your OFFSET ANGLE setting is retained in the plotter’s internal memory even when

NOTE: Excessive settings may deform the shape of characters. Be sure to perform adequate
testing before performing your final cut to ensure that you have located the appropriate
setting which offers the proper quality.
