OFFSET FORCE - Setting the Offset Cut Pressure
Since the direction in which the blade tip is facing cannot be determined during initialization of the
plotter, initial blade control is performed to adjust the offset angle of the blade (See OFFSET
FORCE - Adjusting the Blade Offset Angle).
The Offset Cut Pressure function is used to specify the force applied during initial blade control.
The Offset Cut Pressure is also used to offset the blade angle in TANGENTIAL EMULATION
MODE. This pressure should be set as low as possible to ensure cutting quality. If the pressure
is too great the corners may break or lack a clear cut, particularly when using very thin material.
Start from the default setting (4) first, then change the value if necessary.
Press the MENU key to select MENU mode.
Press the NEXT key.
Press the NEXT key again.
Press the NEXT key again.
Press the F3 key to select OPTION 1.
Press the F3 key to select OFFSET FORCE.
Press the UP ARROW or DOWN AROW key to
sequence through the available choices.
The OFFSET PRESSURE can be set in a 35-step
range from 1 to 35.
Press the ENTER key to register your settings.
Press the MENU key to cancel MENU mode.
NOTE: Your OFFSET PRESSURE setting is retained in the plotter’s internal memory when the
plotter is turned off.
NOTE: The OFFSET PRESSURE setting specifies the pressure being applied during initial
blade control and during offset control in TANGENTIAL EMULATION MODE. This is
separate from the cutting force setting which specifies the down force of the lowered
cutter pen during cutting.
