Contour Cutting 5-4
5.2. GENERAL (see section 6 for the actual procedure details)
For accurate Contour Cutting with the alignment methods, proceed as
follows:
• Create the design on which you want to perform the contour cut.
• Place cross-marks around your design.
• Print out the design with the cross marks.
• Load the printed design in the cutter and set the cross-mark parameters in
the cutter (only when using the XY-adjustment method ).
• Execute the special load procedure.
• Cut out the contour.
5.3. CREATING THE DESIGN
• Create in your software the design you want to print and Cut:
• Define the Contour:
⇒ Do not define the contour exactly on a printed line. This way it will not
catch the eye if the contour has moved a little during cutting.
⇒ Place the contour on a separate layer, assign a unique color to it,
etc. (refer to your software documentation), so that it is easy to select
the contour or the design.
