The advantage of the FlexCut feature is that it cuts completely through the media. In addition,
it ensures that the material stays together by means of small media bridges.
There are 6 typical FlexCut parameters:
1. Full pressure: This parameter determines the full pressure that is used in FlexCut mode.
2. Full pressure length: This parameter determines the length that is cut at full pressure,
usually the length that is cut all the way through.
3. Flex pressure: This parameter determines the pressure of Flex pressure length. This is
usually a reduced pressure so that the knife only scratches the media or only cuts it halfway
through.
4. Flex pressure length: This parameter determines the length that is cut at reduced pressure
or without pressure, to form the media bridges. This is usually a much smaller value than
Full pressure length.
5. FlexCut Velocity: FlexCut uses higher knife pressures. Higher knife pressures require a
lower cutting speed. With this parameter, the velocity of FlexCut can be set independently
from the normal cutting velocity.
6. FlexCut panel size: determines the size of the panel. FlexCut is usually cut in segments.
All those parameters are media dependent. Section 2.7 explains how to find the best values
for these parameters.
Several tools, depending on the machine model, can be installed in the cutter. With this
parameter the tool is selected, and all its corresponding specific parameters are shown in the
menu to adjust if necessary. If the tool has been changed, use this menu to set up the machine
to use the newly inserted tool. This is explained in chapter 2.3.1.
The rest of the menu items in the main menu are submenus and are explained in the sections
below.
