Pen Setting Conditions: Running Cutting Tests
4-9
Third test pattern: Uses a cutting force one value greater than the specified
value.
Press the F4 key (CUTTING PRO) cut out the CUTTING PRO characters from
the current position.
8 Check the cut pattern(s). Peel off the four outside corners of the test patterns
cut in TEST 1 or TEST 2 to examine the corners of the inner triangle. If the
corners are rounded, the OFFSET setting is too low. Conversely, if the corners
are too pointed, the OFFSET setting is too high.
9 Next, peel off the corners of the triangle(s). Ideally, only slight traces of the
cutter blade should remain on the backing sheet. If the backing sheet has been
cut through, either the FORCE setting is too high or the cutter-blade tip is
extended too far. If the backing sheet shows only a few traces of the cutter
blade, either the FORCE setting is too low or the cutter blade tip is not
sufficiently extended.
10 Press the CONDITIONS key to display the menu for specifying the cutting
conditions, and then adjust the FORCE and OFFSET settings.
11 Repeat steps 3 to 8 until satisfactory test results are achieved.
12 When the results are satisfactory, press the ENTER key or NEXT key to return
the FC7000 to Ready status.
