SummaCut cutter User’s Manual
Automating Tasks with OPOS
3.4
During normal OPOS jobs the user only needs to set the tool above the first mark to
start the job. OPOS allows the user to automate certain tasks, thus reducing user
intervention and production time. There are several types of automation.
Automatic start of the OPOS job
This is controlled by the parameter OPOS origin. A combination of this parameter
setting and/or a special origin setting during loading of the media can ensure that the
user doesn’t need to set the tool above the first mark to start an OPOS job.
Multiple copies of the same job
When cutting multiple graphics, the user only needs to manoeuvre the OPOS sensor
above the Origin mark of the first graphic. Cutting subsequent graphics does not
require additional user input.
There are two multiple job situations where OPOS can be used:
a. When cutting multiple (copies of a) graphic(s) on the same media roll.
b. When cutting the same graphic on multiple media sheets.
Most automated tasks are organized from within the cutting software. However, when
the same graphic contour needs to be cut out, the automatic tasks may also involve
some manual manipulation.
Before using the automating features, note the amount of your cutter’s RAM. If the
cutter’s RAM is
greater
than the job’s file size, then the automating features can be
used. If the cutter’s RAM is
less
than the job’s file size, the automating features should
not be used.
Unattended contour cutting (roll to roll)
A special barcode can be printed together with the job. This barcode can then be used
to access the correct cutting data, so the cutter can cut one job after another without
user intervention.
