Test Cutting
Execute test cutting to confirm the tool
conditions.
In the test cutting, the plotter cuts two
squares.
1
Press the key, and then press the
(TEST CUT)

• TEST CUT will be displayed.
2
Press the key .
• The plotter will execute test cutting and then
return to the local mode display.

Cutting Data
You can start cutting after completion of setting up a tool,
a media and the tool conditions.
Setting the origin
The origin is a reference point for the cutting data.
When the origin is changed, set the new origin before
starting cutting.
1
Move the carriage to a point at which the
new origin is to be set.
•[] : Moves the carriage to the right.
[] : Moves the carriage to the left.
[] : Feeds the media to the rear of the plotter.
[] : Feeds the media to the front of the plotter.
2
Press the key to register the
origin.
• The display panel will show the effective cutting
area first and then the tool conditions.
• When the cutter blade is worn and dull, you can
use it temporarily by enhancing the value of
PRESSURE. However, you are recommended to
replace the worn cutter blade with a new one to
ensure a satisfactory cutting quality.
When the tool conditions are proper, the results
of test cutting are as follows:
• The two squares are cut perfectly.
• The base media remains uncut.
• No corner of the squares is rounded.
• No corner of the squares is curled-up.
Cut
Condition
Cause Solution
Some parts
uncut.
The blade is lifted
above the media
because of a too
high cutting
speed.
Lower the speed.
(P.2-24).
Tighten up the knob for the
tool holder.
(P.2-21).
The base
media has
been cut.
Too high
pressure.
Lower the pressure.
(P.2-24).
Too large
protrusion of the
cutter blade.
Adjust the protrusion of the
cutter blade.
(P.2-20).
Any of the
square
corners
rounded.
Improper
OFFSET value.
Adjust the OFFSET value
so that it suits the cutter
blade in use. ( P.2-24).
Any of the
square
corners
curled-up.
The protruded
cutter blade is too
much.
The cutting
pressure is higher.
The
[COMPENSATIO
N PRESSURE
OFFSET value] is
large.
More than two out
of the above fall
under this
category.
Adjust the protrusion of the
cutter blade.
(P.2-20).
Adjust the cutting pressure.
(P.2-24).
Adjust the ADJ-PRS OFS
value. ( P.4-8).
• Change the origin before cutting the next data;
otherwise, cutting will be performed over the
previous data.
