Cut Mode Normal/
HighSpd/
Quality
Sets the cutting quality.
• Normal: Normally, use this setting.
• HighSpd: This cuts media in a short period of time. This is not
suitable for use with heavy media.
• Quality: This puts priority on the cutting quality, and limits the
cutting speed to 20 cm/s. Select "Quality" when cutting the
following data.
– Text not larger than 10 mm
– Data with many acute angles
– Intricate data (However, cut lines may be jagged depending on the
data. If this occurs, change the setting to "HighSpd" to make cut
lines smoother.)
Copy - Cut the data stored in the receive buffer of the machine by the
specified number. "Copying the Last Data"(P. 132)
No. Copies 1 to 999 Enter the number of copies.
Interval 0 to 30 mm Select the cut data interval.
Tool Change - Select this when replacing tools. "Installing Cutting Tools"(P. 88)
Setup Sub Menu - Useful functions when cutting.
Up Speed - Set the movement speed of the media and carriage while the tool is
up.
Up Speed X AUTO/5 to 30
cm/s
Sets the media feed speed.
Setting a slower speed can reduce media offsets.
Up Speed Y AUTO/5 to 30
cm/s
Sets the carriage scan speed.
Dummy cut ON/OFF Cuts the media to make the cutting blade face a certain direction
after media detection or tool changes. (Performs a dummy cut in
front of the pinch rollers which are closest to both ends of the cutter
unit.)
If you wish to avoid damage to the media or cut cut-out characters,
set this to OFF. Perform test cutting to adjust the direction of the
cutting blade. "Test Cutting"(P. 97)
If the tool condition is set to "PEN", dummy cutting is disabled.
Sheet Type Standard/
Heavy
Set the weight of the set media.
Adj-prs Offset -9 to 0 to 9 When cutting the corners, the pressure is automatically decreased
(by about 5 g) to prevent the media from lifting up. As a result, the
cutting blade might not rotate smoothly and may leave uncut parts.
Adjust the pressure for cutting the corners if they are left uncut.
Vacuum Fan Weak/
Standard/
Strong/OFF
Sets the force with which the medium is held down during cutting.
Ordinarily, use "Weak".
Over Cut OFF/0.1 to
1.0 mm
Overlaps the start and end points so that no part of the media is left
uncut. "Preventing Uncut Media"(P. 133)
