• Press the F4 key to select STEP PASS.
• Press the UP or DOWN ARROW key to sequence through the available choices.
The STEP PASS can be set in a 21-step range from 0 to 20. The higher the
number, the more steps of data will be passed between each data point. These
data points represent actual cut line segments.
• Press the ENTER key to register your settings or press the MENU key to cancel
MENU mode.
NOTE: Your STEP PASS setting is retained in the plotter’s internal memory even when
the plotter is turned off.
NOTE: Excess settings may deform the shape of characters, therefore this value
should be kept at zero if it is not needed. Always perform a cut test to verify the
settings.
INITIAL DOWN FORCE- Adjusting the Initial Media
Cut Force
This function is only valid when the TANGENTIAL EMULATION is enabled. The
TANGENTIAL EMULATION is suitable for cutting thick material. In TANGENTIAL
EMULATION mode, the plotter raise the blade when changing cutting directions
and then lowers the blade into the media to cut.
The actual force needed to cut media may vary from the actual force needed to
lower the blade into the media. In this case, use the INITAL DOWN FORCE func-
tion to set the force needed to lower the blade into the media. Should a different
orce be needed to plunge thru the media than is needed to cut the media, use the
INITIAL DOWN FORCE.
• Press the MENU key to select MENU mode.
