Send Cut Lines to Cutter
Open cut line file or select layer that contains the cut lines. In your cad program Select File
print, turn off any scale to page size, select xxx vinyl cutter. Click on properties button and
verify printer driver properties (e.g. Find Origin = Origin, Skew, Scale). Click on OK.
Missed Targets
By default the Target Fail count on the Line Sensor menu is set to 0 and no missed targets are
allowed. If a target scan is unsuccessful the cutter will display (tar1, tar2, tar3) indicating which
target was not found. You then have two options. Option 1: move the red dot to the corner of
the origin target and press select to retry the target scan. Option 2: press the Load key to cancel
the job. You can then resend the job to the cutter correcting the problem.
Copies
Additional copies can be cut without resending the job. There are three options for copies.
Same Size Sheets (One Button Copy Mode)
On the first sheet, Load new sheet, Press F2, Copy to find the edge of sheet and locate target, at
same place on new sheet, and send the copy. For the remainder of the sheets load the sheet
under the pinch wheels and press the copy button one time.
Continuous Frames
In this mode many small frames are printed on the same piece of media. In this mode you must
set the Space Between Jobs to the distance between the last cut line and the next target. After
sending the first frame the knife should be over the next frames target. If not adjust Space
Between Jobs. You can then select copy, use the up/down arrows to select the total number of
frames to cut and then press select.
