Setting the Interface Conditions

Sets serial interface parameters like baud rate, parity, and data length.

Setting the Cutter-Pen Conditions

Sets optimal cutting parameters: TOOL, OFFSET, FORCE, SPEED, QUALITY.

Displaying the Effective Cutting Area

Shows the current effective cutting area on the display.

Moving the Pen

Controls manual movement of the pen carriage and medium using direction keys.

Setting the Initial Cutting Position (Origin Point)

Sets the starting point for cutting operations using the ORIGIN key.

Stop Function

Allows pausing, resuming, or aborting cutting operations via the PAUSE key.

Moving the Pen Carriage in +100 mm Steps

Moves the pen carriage in specific +100 mm increments along X and Y axes.

Test Cutting

Performs test cuts to check and adjust cutting conditions for optimal results.

Function Settings and Operations

PAUSE Menu List

Overview of menu options accessible via the PAUSE key for various settings.

Reading the Auto Registration Marks (Option)

Guides on using optical sensors for reading registration marks.

Setting the FEED function

Controls medium feeding to prevent slippage and ensure accurate positioning.

Setting AUTO PRE-FEED

Automates medium feeding based on received data to prevent slipping.

Setting TANGENTIAL Mode

Optimizes cutting for thick media and sharp corners by overcutting.

Auto-Registration-Mark-Reading Settings (Option)

Configures settings for automatic registration mark reading for precise cutting.

Clearing the Buffer Memory

Deletes data from the plotter's memory to abort operations.

Aligning the Coordinate Axes

Compensates for origin or angular deviations in plotted media for accurate recutting.

Distance Adjustment

Corrects length deviations in cut or plotted segments based on medium.

Setting the PAGE LENGTH

Sets page length for long-axis cutting on roll media exceeding 5 meters.

Setting the Cutting/Plotting Area

Defines the specific area for cutting/plotting to prevent errors and utilize media.

Expanding the Cutting/Plotting Area

Extends the cutting/plotting width by 19 mm for better media utilization.

Rotating the Coordinate Axes

Allows rotation of the plotting origin and coordinate axes for custom orientations.

Mirroring

Changes the cutting/plotting origin and coordinate axes for mirroring designs.

Cutting/Plotting Using the Buffer Memory (COPY Function)

Makes duplicate copies of data stored in internal memory without re-sending.

Sorting Settings

Sorts data to minimize medium feed requirements, potentially speeding up operations.

Interface Settings

Configures serial interface parameters for matching computer and plotter settings.

Setting the Format of Data to be Received

Sets command modes (GP-GL, HP-GL) for receiving data from the computer.
