Detailed Operation 4-4
FlexCut:
FlexCut can be set to OFF, Fast, or Accurate. When the cutter is set to Fast or Accurate, it will
alternately cut a certain length with full pressure, and a certain length with reduced
pressure. The advantage of the FlexCut feature is that it cuts completely through the
material, yet allows the material to stay together by means of the small media bridges.
Fast is the quickest mode, but it is less precise due to the pressure changes during the
cutting.
Accurate is much slower, but much more precise, as the cutter stops at every change of
pressure.
There are 4 typical FlexCut parameters:
1. Full pressure: This parameter determines full pressure used during FlexCut mode.
2. Full pressure cut length: This parameter determines the length that is cut with full
pressure, usually the length that will be cut all the way through.
3. Flex pressure cut length: This parameter determines the length that will be cut with
reduced pressure or without pressure. This is usually a much smaller value than the
full pressure cut length – this is the length of the media bridges.
4. FlexCut pressure: This parameter determines the pressure of the Flex pressure cut
length. This is usually a reduced pressure so that the knife only scratches the media or
cuts it only halfway through.
Procedure to set the correct parameters for FlexCut:
1. Press
then use
or
to choose
the FlexCut mode.
2. Press to confirm or to cancel.
3. Press , ,
or
to select the parameter that
must be changed.
4. Use or to change to the desired value, press to confirm or
to cancel.
5. Go back to
and press
to check the result.
6. Repeat steps 3 through 4 until the desired result is achieved.
7. If necessary change velocity by pressing
