Step 12: The cutter will go through the following routine
 Scan the frame.
 Scan the barcode.
 Cut the contour data.
Step 13: Check the positioning.
 In case you want to optimise the contour positioning

EPOS alignment test
This test will fine-tune the position of the cutting knife compared to the EPOS laser. This test
can be done manually and automatically. It is recommended however, to let the Kona adjust
the values automatically.
Refer to Epos on page93
to know how to perform the test.
EPOS readout
To be able to perform a contour job, the EPOS sensor needs to see the difference between
the media and the printed bounding box. When you have loaded a media and the
measurement of the bounding box fails, it is interesting to perform the EPOS read test. Via
this way you can see if the sensor is able to detect a contrast between the media and
bounding box.
Refer to EPOS read on page120
5.2.3 XY-distance accuracy
The XY - Distance Accuracy tests are developed to check the actual X-Y cutting distance with
the sent vector data.
Please follow the procedure below to make the test:
Step 1: Launch Mutoh’s CutServer.
Step 2: Be sure that the cutter is connected with the Mutoh CutServer.
Step 3: Select which test to perform.
Step 4: Select the appropriate connection and double-click.
Step 5: Load a roll or sheet with at least the measurements indicated in the dropdown
menu.
Step 6: Load a knife.
