4.4.8 Coil setup
This test is used to set the knife to “landing.” The cut quality is seriously affected by

when leaving the sub menu. The landing determines, among other things, the force at
which the tool hits the media. When calibrating the landing, the tool holder with the knife
must be inserted in the head. Be sure that the knife does not protrude.
Use to lower the landing value until the tool is in the “up” position. Then use
