To obtain high-quality cutting results, carry out a cutting test to check the cutting quality for the material before you perform the actual cutting.

Procedure

  1. Check that the PEN FORCE slider is in its center setting (at "0" on the scale).


  2. Hold down the key for one second or longer.

    The test pattern is cut.

    The position of the blade at the time the button is pressed is the cutting test start position. The position can be set as desired using the cursor keys.

  3. Press to feed the material forward.



  4. Peel off circle 1.

    Use the tweezers or a similar tool to peel off the cut shape, and check the cutting quality.


    If circle 1 peels off alone → Step 5



    If other shapes also peel off / The Machine Cuts the Carrier Paper→ "Changing the Blade Force"

  5. Peel off rectangle 2.

    Use the tweezers or a similar tool to peel off the cut shape, and check the cutting quality.

    If the blade leaves faint traces on the material's carrier paper → Step 6: Set the Origin


    If the traces left by the blade are indistinct/too deep → "Changing the Blade Force"
