Chapter 2 Preparation for Printing
Setting Tool Condition
This section will explain the settings for Tool, Offset, Force, Speed, and Acceleration. The tool conditions for cutting
label materials are decided in the following 5 items:
(1) TOOL .........................................Set the utilized blade. ("09U" Fixed)
(2) OFFSET .....................................Set the offset value depending on the utilized blade.
(3) FORCE ......................................Set the following chart as the standard.
(4) SPEED .......................................Set the following chart as the standard.
(5) ACCEL (ACCELERATION) ........Set the following chart as the standard.
Refer to "2.14 Adjusting the Blade Length" with regards to blade length adjustment methods.

In order to improve residue removal
Keep in mind the following for improving residue removal efficiency.
•
Select a blade that matches the purpose.
CB09UA: General cutting with color adhesive film
•
Use an unworn blade.
When the blade becomes blunt, residue removal efficiency is also affected.
•
Use the amount of remaining blade trace in the release paper as the standard for the blade length/cutting.
When deciding the cutting force, set the lowest value possible for the remaining blade trace.
•
Use the lowest setting possible for speed/acceleration.
• If the settings for speed/acceleration are made high, the end result will be course but the cutting
time will shorten. It is especially possible with large-width media that quality cutting cannot be
achieved due to media-tearing. Therefore, adjust speed/quality to the lowest settings in such
cases.
• If the settings for speed/acceleration are made low, the end result will be a clean cut but the cutting
time will lengthen.
