ADVANCED FUNCTIONS AND OPERATIONS: Setting Tangential Emulation
6-48
6.24 Setting Tangential Emulation
This function is effective when cutting thick media (more than 0.3 mm in thickness)
and when the cutter blade sinks into the media and is not able to rotate properly,
resulting in gaps between the start and finish points and the inability to cut sharp
corners. This function can be set individually for each of the eight cutter-pen
setting areas, and it should be set to suit the media used. This setting has two
modes: Mode 1 and Mode 2.
Mode 1: Overcuts the start and end points and acute-angle corners to eliminate
uncut sections. In addition, the cutter blade is moved on the surface of
the medium during cutting when it is rotated significantly, ensuring sharp
cutting unaffected by the hardness or thickness of the media..
Mode 2: Overcuts the start and end points only. In addition, the cutter blade is
rotated on the medium surface for the start cutting position only. Mode 2
uses simpler cutter control than Mode 1, and provides a shorter cutting
time.
Moreover, this function can be specified as on or off for each of the eight cutter-
pen setting areas. The overcut-amount setting screen is displayed for cutter-pen
setting areas for which the TANGENTIAL EMULATION mode is enabled.
