Variable Pressure Optimization (VPO) Feature
Adjusting the Head Air Pressure for Regular or Dense Matboard
The head air regulator is located on the left side of the head and controls the pressure of the foot block
against the matboard as it is cutting.
• • The minimum air pressure should be 35 psi, otherwise the blade may not cut through the matboard.The minimum air pressure should be 35 psi, otherwise the blade may not cut through the matboard.
• • The maximum air pressure should be less than or equal to 60 psi to avoid crushing the matboard.The maximum air pressure should be less than or equal to 60 psi to avoid crushing the matboard.
The software will prompt for a head pressure change only if the current mat is a dierent setting than the
previously cut mat. If the settings are the same as the previously cut mat, the CMC will skip the following
instructions and proceed to “Insert Blade Cartridge and Adjust Blade
Depth” page 22.
1. Select the desired layer on the Cut Preview.

5. Click OK. The Cut Preview displays the selection of matboard. 5. Click OK. The Cut Preview displays the selection of matboard.
• • Regular matboard displays no indicator.Regular matboard displays no indicator.
• • Dense matboard displays the dense layer with an asterisk and indicates Dense matboard displays the dense layer with an asterisk and indicates
that this layer is dense.that this layer is dense.
6. Click Cut to cut the mat and Align the
Head if requested.
7. The Head plunges at the home position and applies the current
pressure. It then displays a prompt to adjust the head pressure to either
the high or low setting.
8. Pull out the air regulator pressure
knob by pulling it to the left.
9. Adjust the air regulator.
• For High Setting: Turn the air
regulator pressure knob clockwise
until the marker on the gauge is
at the high setting. Make sure the
gauge does not go above 60 psi.
