Chapter 2 - Basic Operation
2-5 Cutting
Test Cutting
Cutting quality is affected by the blade and media being used, and by the cutting conditions. There are four cutting
conditions: "cutting speed", "blade force", "blade offset", and "amount of blade extension". For high-quality cutting, it is
necessary to set the appropriate cutting conditions for the blade and media in actual use.
The cutting test is a feature for checking beforehand whether these cutting conditions are appropriate.
1
Install a blade and load a media, then close the front cover.
Make sure the [SETUP] LED lights up.
2
Use the [ ] , [ ] , [ ] and [ ] keys to move the tool carriage to the place where the test cutting
is to be performed.
3
Press the [TEST CUT] key for 1 second or longer.
Test cutting starts.
4
Examine the cutting results for the media and diagnose the cutting conditions.
If the test cutting shows problems with the media cutting results, adjust the cutting conditions.
For "cutting speed", "blade force", and "blade offset", press the [CUT CONFIG] key and set the cutting conditions.
(Refer to “ 5-1 Display Menus Flowchart ”)
For "amount of blade extension", refer to "1-6 Installing the Blade".
Repeat the cutting tests and adjustment of the cutting conditions until you obtain good cutting results for the media.
(1) Peel off the round section (marked by ).
When it can be peeled by itself, without disturbing the square (marked by
), the cutter force is set appropriately.
If it peels, either the "blade force" or the "amount of blade extension" is insuf-
ficient.
(2) Remove the square section (marked by ).
The optimum blade pressure is correct if you can clearly make out the
lines left by the blade.
If the blade trace is indistinct or too strong, you need to adjust the "blade force"
or the "amount of blade extension".
(3) Check the shape of the rectangle.
- If the corners are cut securely as shown in A, there conditions are correct.
- If the corners are rounded as shown in B, the "blade offset" is insufficient.
- If the corners have "horns" as shown in C, the "blade offset" is too large
ABC
When [CUTTING PRIOR] on the machine's display menu has been set to [COMMAND], the program's settings for the cutting
conditions take priority.
To give priority to the cutting conditions set on the machine, turn off the program settings, or set the [CUTTING PRIOR] menu
to [MENU].
For more information about the [CUTTING PRIOR] menu, see the section "5-2 Description of Menus".
