HP 54 Basic Cutter - Detailed Operation of the Cutter; Media alignment; Settings

Media alignment
Align load is a special loading procedure to register markers, so that pre-printed jobs can be contour-cut. This
parameter is explained in Register the markers on page 29.
Settings
Velocity
This menu groups all the parameters that aect the throughput of the cutter. The velocity and acceleration
settings are explained in Set the cutting speed on page 20.
Overcut
The Overcut submenu enables you to generate an overcut to facilitate weeding the cut. Each time the knife goes
up or down, the cutter cuts a bit further. The illustration below shows what overcut can do with a tangential
knife. A sample cutout with a drag knife would show fewer overcuts as there would be fewer up/downs (usually
only one per curve/letter). The overcut setting can be disabled (=0) or set to any value between 0 (=o) and 10.
One unit is about 0.1 mm (0.004 in).
Press . Use or to change the value. Press to conrm or to cancel. The default overcut is
set to 1.
OptiCut
OptiCut improves the cutting quality if the knife is worn out or not calibrated correctly.
Press . Use or to set OptiCut on or o. Press to conrm or to cancel. OptiCut is o by
default.
