Enhanced functions for higher productivity
FC8600 series premiere cutting plotter providing higher productivity and greater ease of use
The new fifth generation ARMS5.0 provides high-precision print & cut.
It supports the copying of the cutting data including the ARMS control command for making
multiple copies of the downloaded data. This allows multiple copies to be created without a PC,
significantly improving work efficiency. The media can be also separated by each row
with the cross cutter when the cross cut function is enabled.
The USB 2.0 (Hi-Speed), RS-232C and Ethernet
(10BASE-T/100BASE-TX) are built in as standard.
Multiple interfaces enable various connections
such as a single PC to single plotter and multiple
PCs to multiple plotters. The Ethernet connection
also allows sharing of the cutter over a network.
