Procedure

  1. Check the origin for cutting of the printed material.

  2. Turn on the cutting machine. Wait for the initial operation to finish.

     

  3. Set the origin for cutting to the lower-left corner of the material, and then load the material in the machine.

    If the material is loaded in the wrong direction, the machine will not be able to read the crop marks.

  4. Position the left and right pinch rollers as shown in the figure.

    For A4-size material, do not use the middle pinch rollers.

    (1) Position the pinch rollers outside the tool marks.
    (2) Be sure that both edges of the material and the pinch rollers are inside the grit patterns.

  5. Align the right edge of the material with the front and back gradations of the platen.

  6. Select the type of material.

  7. Press [ENTER].

    The pinch rollers lower and the carriage and material move.
    When the movement is finished, the cuttable width and length are displayed.

  8. Press [Up ] and [Down] to move the material and position the crop marks above the blade protector.

    (1) Blade protector
    (2) Crop marks

  9. Press [Left ] and [Right] to position the tip of the blade over the center of the lower-left crop mark.

    Do not set the origin.

     


  10. Crop marks cannot be read in the situations indicated below.

    If any of the following situations occur, remove the material, and then reload it.

    The left and right crop marks are slanted by 5 degrees or more with respect to the moving direction of the cutting carriage.
    The left and right crop marks are offset by 20 mm or more in the material-feed direction.


    The crop marks are separated from the blade protector by a distance of 15 mm or more.

    The material sometimes curls when it is printed on the printer.
    Do not use material that is curled as shown in the figure. The crop marks may not be read. If this happens, straighten out the material before loading it on the cutting machine.
