■ Cutting Force Test Cutting
The cutting force can be changed in one-step increments from its current setting (in the range -2 to +2) to
enable five test cuts to be performed. Test cutting can be performed after selecting the TOOL (cutter blade)
and specifying the cutter-blade length, OFFSET, FORCE, SPEED, and QUALITY settings to ensure that
the selected cutting conditions actually produce the desired cutting results. Check how far the blade cuts
into the film and how the corners are being cut. If the cutting results are not satisfactory, reset the cutter-
pen conditions and repeat the test cutting until the optimal settings are achieved. Test cutting will be carried
out according to the conditions currently set for the cutter-pen.
Mount a cutter pen in the pen carriage, and specify cutting conditions suitable for the mounted cutter pen
(see “3.3 Setting the Cutter-Pen Conditions.”)

tion on the conditions setting menu, see “3.3 Setting the Cutter-Pen Conditions.”
