Chapter 3 Printer Driver
Step Pass .......................This function carries out processing while skipping the blade tip control. By lowering the setting
value, the arc's fine blade tip control is carried out smoothly, which improves the image quality.
If a very big value is selected, then the cut shape could not be executed properly.
Typically, please use the default settings.
Depending on the application, because the circle or ellipse data is output in fine lines, the
cutter vibrates due to the blade tip control, which may cause distortion in the cut. If this
happens, by increasing the value here, the cutline will become smooth and the cutting speed
will be improved.
Vectorize Raster Lines
........................Depending on the application, the line processing method is different, and the cutline
extraction may not be possible. Using this function allows the cutline extraction in some cases.
Typically, please use it with "None".
None: .............Raster lines are not vectorized. Only data, which has been sent as vector lines
from the application, is handled as Cutlines.
Method 1: ......The same as "None", with one addition. Certain types of rectangular solid fill data
are handled as thick vector line data.
Method 2: ......The same as Method 1, with one addition. When circles, ellipses or other curved
lines are sent as raster data, Cutlines will also be extracted from the raster data.
Method 3: ......
Cutlines are extracted from the raster data only. Use Method 3 if you have problems
such as rectangles being output as separate segments when you use Method 1 and 2.
Vectorize Raster Lines Settings
........................The vectorize settings can be set only during Method 2 and 3.
Perform fine line vectorizing
........................Vectorizing is performed after the data has been converted to fine lines.
If the lines to be vectorized are too wide, the driver will not recognize them
as Cutlines and they will not be output. If you want to output such lines as
Cutlines, check this box. Use this option with applications where fine lines
cannot be output.
Line Length ..............Specifies the minimum length of the cutlines to be output.
The driver ignores lines which are shorter than this length, and does not output them.
The settings range is 0.1 mm - 5.0 mm.
Treat as same line if gap is
........................Specifies the dot gap, which is acceptable as same line data.
Depending on the application used, gaps can occur in an output raster
line, making it difficult to determine whether the segments are from the
same line or separate lines. This option fills in the dots and enables output
as one continuous line. However, if this value is too large, separate lines
may be treated as one continuous line.
The settings range is from 0 to 20 dots.
Restore Defaults ............Resets the settings to their original values.
