3 Basic Operation
If you are using any of the following kinds of materials, neither of the methods described earlier will result in correct cutting.
- A material with edge holes for sprocket feed that has no material layer (only base paper) along the hole area at the edges
* If you are using the PNC-960 and DIP switch SW-9 is set to ON (piece material), then turn off the power, set DIP switch
SW-9 to OFF (roll material), and switch the power back on. On the PNC-960, it is not necessary to make any DIP switch
settings.

Pass the end of the material between the pinch rollers and the
grit rollers so that it extends from the front of the unit.
If you are using roll material, then install the roller base on the
back of the unit, place the roll material on the base, and pull
out the length of material that is to be cut from the roll.
Align both edges of the material with the grit rollers. Use the
guide lines to load the material so that it is perfectly straight
with respect to the unit.
- There are two guide-line marks on the front surface of the
unit.
- Align the left-hand edge of the sheet with the same guide-line
marks.
