2.3.4 FLEX-CUT
FLEX-CUT can be set to OFF, to Fast or Accurate. When the cutter is set to fast or
accurate, it will alternately cut one length with full pressure, and one length with
reduced pressure. The feature FLEX-CUT offers the advantage that it cuts completely
through the material, yet allowing the material to stay together by means of the small
media bridges.
Fast is the quickest mode, but it is less precise because the pressure changes during
the cutting. Accurate is a lot slower, but at the same time it is much more precise, as
the cutter stops at every change of pressure.
After pressing the
key, press the or jogging key until the desired mode
is displayed on the LCD and press
to confirm.
On the LCD, the active setting is marked with an “*”.
Pressing the
key will activate the configuration menu. The different flex
parameters can be accessed by pressing the
or jogging key. All the values
are metric regardless the “MENU UNITS” setting.
1. FULL: 7.5 mm
This parameter determines the length that is cut with full pressure.
Press the
or jogging key to change the value. By pressing the key, the
FLEX-CUT test pattern will be cut.
2. FULL: 200g
This parameter determines the full pressure. Press the
or jogging key to
change the value. By pressing the
key, the FLEX-CUT test pattern is cut.
3. FLEX: 0.75mm
This parameter determines the length that will be cut with reduced pressure or without
pressure. Press the
or jogging key to change the value. By pressing the key,
the FLEX-CUT pattern will be cut.
4. FLEX: 80g
This parameter determines the pressure of “HALF”. Press the
or jogging key
to change the value. By pressing the
key, the FLEX-CUT test pattern is cut.
On the LCD, the active setting is marked with an “*”.
The cutting through functionality is focussed to cut simple shapes (e.g. rectangles).
However it will process any data it receives in this mode. But it is obvious that the more
complex the shape is, the more difficult it will be to get an acceptable result.
When cutting through, it is recommended that parallel lines are at least 1 cm away from
each other. Otherwise, while cutting the second line, the first line may come loose and
cause trouble.
