Load length
This parameter is directly related to media load mode.
Refer to Load mode on page85
The Load length or shuffle length has to be set before media is loaded. There are three
reasons for using a Load Length:
 The length of media set for the Load length parameter will be pulled off the roll, before the
cutting job starts. This will prevent media from being pulled off the roll when accelerating.
High speed can only be properly used on condition that the media can move freely.
 Before actually cutting starts the complete length of the media is shuffled back and forth
through the cutter, ensuring that the pressure rollers have a discrete path while the user
has the time to verify if the vinyl transports well.
 Your Kona cutter is equipped with Mutoh’s unique auto sheet-off feature. If the autoshuffle
is on, the Kona automatically cuts off media at the end of a cutting sequence. Following an
automatic PAGE command or a manual PAGE command initiated via the control panel,
the cutter will shuffle through the pre-set load length of media, to ensure that there is
enough media left for a possible replot. If there is not enough media left, the cutter will stop
before the end of the assigned media length. The cutter will not initiate the media again in
between two contour cutting jobs.
To set the load length, proceed as follows.
