Detailed Operation 4-5
4.3.1 Confidence test
The confidence test performs a quick electrical and mechanical test of the cutter to
make sure that the cutter is fully operational. A media sheet of at least A3/B-size
should be used for this plot. This test is always cut at the left side of the loaded media.
Press
to start the test.
4.3.2 DIN A4 Test
The DIN A4 Test also performs an electrical and mechanical test of the cutter, in order
to check the cut quality, but also provides the user with feedback on knife setting,
knife pressure, knife offset, and cutting depth.
This cut is always run as a DIN A4 portrait/A-size image, regardless of the actual size
of the media loaded. If the media loaded is smaller than DIN A4/A-size, part of the
outer box will be clipped (not cut). Press
to start the test.

4.3.4 Flex Cut
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.
