SummaCut cutter User’s Manual
Detailed Operation 4-11
4.3.4.11
The media sensor detects whether media is loaded. It also detects the end of the
media. The sensor prevents damage to the cutting strip and knife tip. The sensor can
be activated or deactivated with this menu.
The cutter will stop during the loading procedure or while it is cutting as soon as the
rear sensor detects the end of the media.
Press , then use or to activate (ON) or deactivate (OFF). Press to
confirm or to cancel.
The default setting for the media sensor is ON.
The OPOS settings are explained in detail in section 3, except for the Alignment mode.
There are three additional alignment methods available on all SummaCut cutters: X-
Alignment, XY-Alignment and XY-Adjustment.
These alignment methods can be used if the combination of mark colour – media
colour cannot be read by the OPOS sensor.
These alignment methods require that the user manually registers marks, using the
cutter’s keypad. Most cutting software can put these marks around the printed graphic
automatically.
X-Alignment compensates for errors in the media alignment, and therefore graphic
rotation, by rotating the graphic’s contour. This alignment method requires that the user
specifies the origin as well as one point along the X-Axis. Distance parameters are not
required. X-Alignment is the easiest alignment method.
XY-Alignment compensates for errors in graphic rotation and skew. Skew errors occur
when the graphic’s X and Y Axes are not perpendicular. This alignment method
requires that the origin, as well as one point along both the X and Y Axes, are specified.
XY-Adjustment compensates for errors in graphic rotation, skew, and scale. Scale
errors occur when the graphic’s printed size is different from the graphic’s original size,
as created in the imaging software. X-Distance and Y-Distance parameters are
required. These parameters define the distance between the origin and X-Axis point
and between the origin and Y-Axis point. XY-Adjustment is the most accurate manual
alignment method.
Press . Use or to change the alignment method.
Press to confirm or to cancel. The default alignment method is OPOS.
