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.

Install a blade and load a media, then close the front cover.

Make sure the [SETUP] LED lights up.

Use the [ ] , [ ] , [ ] and [ ] keys to move the tool carriage to the place where the test cutting

is to be performed.

Press the [TEST CUT] key for 1 second or longer.

Test cutting starts.

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 "6-1 Menus Flowchart")

For "amount of blade extension", refer to the following.

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 insufficient.

(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.
