Ⅶ. HOW TO USE THE PRODUCT
12
Resets by stopping the cutter, and setting the origin
of the carriage arm to its right most position.
Accesses the Oine/Pause mode.
Accesses the Setup mode.
Will cut a small test shape so that the current force and
speed settings of the cutter can be tested. You can use
this to determine the proper cutting speed and force
settings needed for dierent materials without wasting
large amounts of material from cutting full designs.
Used to test z-axis functionality (by dropping the blade
down if the carriage is functioning correctly) or to set a
new origin point when the machine is in its Oine mode.
Adjusts the cutting speed. A cutting speed of 300 mm/s is a
reasonable default speed that can be used for most cuts.
When working with smaller and more detailed images, a
slower speed may be required. When working with larger
and less clear images, a higher speed can be used to
shoen the operation time.
Adjusts the cutting force. A cutting force of 100g is a
good general staing place to work from when determin-
ing the force needed for a specic material. All cuttable
materials will depend on the amount of force needed, so
proper testing should always be made to determine the
force to use. The amount of force used should be enough
to fully penetrate the material to be cut while not enough
to cut through the backing material.

Oine mode is used to reposition the cutting material and blade to set a new staing
position for the next design. Oine mode can also be accessed while the cutter
operates and will pause the current cutting process. Although changes can be made to
the material and blade positions if Oine/Pause mode is accessed during cutting,
making changes to either setting is not normally recommended.
14

the carriage arm to its right most position.

one roller near the center on models with 3 or more rollers). Avoid
lowering a pinch roller to the gap between the two feed rollers.
4
Leave a gap of between1/2”-1 1/2”
from the edge of the roller and the
edge of the vinyl on both sides.

If you would like to change the position of where the cut
will be made:
18
Press the origin button to tell the cutter that this is the
location where you would like the cut to begin.
4
When choosing a staing location for your design, remember that the
process will sta in the bottom right area of the design. Please leave
enough room to the left of and behind the staing location to nish your
cut.
If you would like to make other adjustments to the pressure, speed, or
other settings you can do so now. If you are setting up for your rst cut
with the machine then the default values should be a good staing point.
If you make any adjustments to your cutter, make sure that you return to
the main screen before you attempt to cut.
19
Attach the power cord to the cutter and then plug in the unit and turn
on the power.
If you use a Serial Cable to connect your cutter to a computer, then no fuher
setup is necessa. Connect one end of the cable to the cutter and the other end
to a computer, and setup is complete. If you have more than one serial connec-
tion on your computer, or you are experiencing communication issues between
your cutter and computer, then you may wish to verify that the correct COM po
is being used in your software setup, but for most users, the COM po will be
COM1.
