S Class 2 cutter Service manual
Basic Operation 4-6
4.2.2.5.5 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 panelling 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…
4.2.2.5.6 Sorting Vectors
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.
4.2.2.5.7 Long Vectors
Some vinyls have the tendency to buckle when large designs (long vectors) are cut out. To
avoid this, the speed needs to be reduced. This option does this automatic so that the speed
and accelerations of small vectors are not affected when the speed is brought down.
4.2.2.5.8 TurboCut:
TurboCut increases throughput without raising the overall speed of the plotter by speeding
up the drag movement. Especially when cutting small detailed designs the cutting time
reduction is huge. Some thicker materials might need this feature to be set off.
TurboCut is by default activated.
4.2.2.6 General
4.2.2.6.1 Media Sensor:
The media sensors detect whether media is loaded or detect the end of media. The sensors
prevent damage to the cutting strip and knife tip. The sensors can be activated or deactivated
(both or front only) with this menu.
When the sensors are activated then the cutter searches for the front end of the media
during the loading procedure. If it does not find it after returning the media for 1m (+/- 3
feet), it stops returning the media and sets the origin in the x-axis there. It will also stop,
during the loading procedure or while it is cutting, if the rear sensor detects the end of media.
The cutter does not search for the front end of the media and assumes that the loaded
The default setting for the media sensors is on.
4.2.2.6.2 Recut Offset:
The recut offset submenu is used to set or modify the distances between the jobs when
making multiple recuts. This parameter is also used when using the automated OPOS options.
The default value is 40mm.
