Detailed Operation 4-13
The black arrow pointing upwards on the LCD is the trigger level at which the cutter decides
whether there is media in the machine or not.
4. Use or to change the trigger level if necessary.
Ideally there would be 1 or 2 spaces between arrow pointing sideways and arrow pointing
upwards when the sensor is uncovered, the arrow reaching completely to the right when it
is covered.
4.3.25 Calibrate XY
Length calibration allows the length of the lines cut to be adjusted to within the
specifications.
For instance, if a cut line should measure 100 mm exactly, the cutter can be adjusted for any
discrepancy.
Calibration is explained in section 2.5.
4.3.26 Coil Setup
This test is used to calibrate knife and pen pressure and to set the knife and pen “landing.”
The cut quality is seriously affected by incorrect landing settings. Before changing these
values, write them down, as there is no default setting for these parameters.
After adjustment, the value is saved in the system’s non-volatile RAM.
Press the button, then use or to switch between the parameters and use or
to change the value of the current chosen parameter.
Press to confirm or to cancel.
Setting 40g pressure and 400g pressure.
To execute this test, a tension gauge of ± 100 gr and ± 600 gr is required.
Measure the pressure on the knife with the tension gauge (read value from the gauge when
knife just lifts from the media.) Use or to change the value of the parameter so that
the readout on the tension gauge matches the value on the LCD (40g or 400g depending
on the parameter that is calibrated).
Setting the landing
The landing determines, among other things, the force at which the tool hits the media.
When calibrating the landing, the tool holder with the knife must be inserted in the head.
Be sure that the knife does not protrude.
Use to lower the landing value until the tool is in the “up” position. Then use to
raise the value of the parameter. With each unit of change, continue checking if the tool is
completely down yet. Once the tool is completely down, raise the value back up two units,
and this becomes the proper setting.
