6. Set the knife pressure as follows:
• Power up the cutter and load a piece of media in the cutter (See 1.7.).
• Press the key twice.
• Press the key.
• The parameter displayed is the knife pressure, which can be changed in the
range of 0 to 400gr.
• Click the key to perform a knife depth test as illustrated below.
KNIFE DEPTH TEST PATTERN
The knife depth is correctly set when the test pattern is visible on the front
side of the media backing, but not on the rear side of the media backing.
Increase the knife pressure with the
key when the cut pattern is not
visible on the front side of the media backing. Decrease the knife pressure
with the
key when the cut pattern is visible on the rear side of the media
backing. Press the
key or the key to save the changed setting
In general, you should increase the knife depth and knife pressure when
using thicker vinyl types.
NOTE
As the ideal knife pressure setting depends upon the thickness and the type of
media to be cut, adjusting the knife pressure will require some practice. In
general terms, you should increase the pressure when cutting thicker types of
vinyl. For thinner types of vinyl, you will normally have to reduce the knife
pressure.
