Maximum cutting area
The maximum cutting area (the area in which cutting (plotting) is permitted) varies depending on the
location of pinch rollers and that of the origin. The white portion of the illustration shown below represents
the maximum cutting area. ( P. 3.65)
An area where cutting is not permitted is called a “non-plotting area”.
Sheet detection
The width and length of the sheet are detected by pressing or key depending
on the sheet loaded. ( P.2-13)
• We recommend you to make the front end dead space wider than 20mm.
If the front end dead space is not wide enough, it causes the sheet to be lifted, which may
influence plotting quality.
• In expand mode, the area defined with the outer edges of the pinch rollers is detected.
In normal mode, the area defined with the inner edges of the pinch rollers is detected.
( P.3-12)
The origin is set at the lower
right corner of the area.
The origin is set at the
center of the area.

• Once the sheet length has been detected, if the received data is larger than the sheet, the
portion of data that exceeds the sheet cannot be used for cutting.
If the sheet length is not detected, the plotter will terminate cutting operation when data goes
beyond the sheet.
• If the sheet sensor function is set to [OFF], a press of a jog key will make
the plotter perform the same sheet detection as the case key is pressed. (Only the
sheet width is detected.)
• The maximum length that can be detected at the
front and rear ends of the sheet of media is 3 m.
