Chapter 8 Dealing with Problems
161
Symptom Cause Corrective action
The clamping force (High/Low
mode) has not been correctly
selected.
Select the correct clamping force.
"Clamp"(P. 28)
The roll sheet is loosely wound
with slack present, causing the
sheet to meander or become
skewed when fed.
When loading the roll sheet, adjust the roll
slack and parallel of the roll edges before
feeding the sheet.
The sheet is folded, detached
from the backing sheet, with air
bubbles trapped inside.
Take care to ensure that the sheet does not
become folded and is not subjected to any
load during sheet feeding or cutting when
cutting long data.
Allow sufficient work space in the sheet feed
direction when cutting long data. (At least 1.5
m at both front and rear)
The sheet loading direction
(front or rear) does not match
the data output direction.
Make sure the directions match.
The sheet touches the floor. Reduce the cutting speed (SPEED) to reduce
the load when the sheet touches the floor.
The side margins for the pinch
rollers are insufficient.
Allow side margins of at least 20 mm for the
pinch rollers.
The cutting position is
offset when cutting using
register marks.
There is a problem with the
register marks.
Perform the operation used to check the
responsiveness of the register mark sensor.
"Checking Register Mark Sensor
Responsiveness"(P. 162)
The cutter and register mark
sensor offset values may be
offset.
Adjust the register mark sensor positions.
"Aligning the Register Mark Sensor
Position"(P. 164)
The tool is dragged
during operation and
excessive cutter marks
remain on the sheet.
The sheet is warped. Load the sheet to prevent it from warping.
A curled sheet is being used. Do not use curled sheets or sheets with folded
ends.
The sheet has ripples/surface
irregularities or is lifting up.
If you are using roll sheet, use a smooth
section of the sheet for initial feeding.
Tool raising/lowering is faulty. Turn off the power, then check to confirm
whether the tool holder can be raised/lowered
manually.
If the tool holder remains down and cannot be
raised, contact your local distributor.
Excessively thick sheet is being
used.
Use sheet within the specified range.
Alter the [UP HIGHT] setting. "SET
UP"(P. 135)
Uncut sections remain. The pressure for lowering the
cutter is too low.
Increase the [ADJ-PRS OFS] value.
Increase the cutter pressure and check.
"Test Cutting"(P. 72)
Check if [PRESS COMP.] is enabled.
