S CLASS™ cutter User’s Manual
Detailed Operation 4-5
Panels:
There are 4 specific parameters in the ‘Panels’ submenu:
1. Panels: This parameter switches panels on or off.
2. Panel size: This parameter determines the length of the panel.
3. Panel replot: This parameter determines if the design has to be cut more than once on
top of itself, this per panel. Panel replot is used for thick media and media which is
difficult to cut. The value of this parameter is disregarded if paneling is set to off. If
this parameter is set at 0, then the cutter will cut each panel only once. If it is set at 1,
it will cut each panel twice,…
4. Sort vectors: See paragraph below
Paneling is used for several different applications. Below are the typical settings for the
most 3 common applications.
Cutting through: This is explained in section 3.5. Typical settings for the parameters are then:
Panels: ON; Panel size 5 – 10cm; Panel replot: OFF; vector sorting: DIRECTIONAL.
Tracking difficult media: This is explained in section 2.7. Typical settings for the parameters
are then: Panels: ON; Panel size 3 – 10cm; Panel replot: ON/OFF depending on the thickness
of the media; vector sorting: DRIECTIONAL/OFF depending on needed knife pressure and
backing of the material.
Roll Up: The roll-up system is an option that can be added on the larger S CLASS models
refer to the manual for the roll-up system for more info. Typical settings for the parameters
are then: Panels: ON; Panel size 50 – 100cm; Panel replot: OFF; vector sorting: OFF. Another
recommended setting when using the roll-up system is to set panels to off and use the
automatic paneling of 100cm and set roll-up to ‘AFTER AUTO-panel’. See section on ‘Roll up
media:’
Sort Vectors:
Sorting vectors is a sub menu of the panel menu, but because of its importance explained
separately.
There are three options in this menu.
1. Off: When vector sorting is set of, then the cutter does no optimizing of the vectors.
This is used when the intelligence of the cutter driver is preferred.
2. Directional: If set to directional, then the vectors are optimized for cutting direction
(media movement). This used when the cutting pressure has to be set relatively high (
for example with cutting through).
3. Starting point: This option optimizes the starting point for closed curves. This is used
when the users sees that the curves do not close as they should.
