PERFORMING A TEST CUT
In order to enable the user to check if the cutter is fully functional, without needing a
computer, MUTOH has integrated a demo testcut into the SC series of cutters. To perform
this demo cut, proceed as follows:
1) Load some vinyl ( cut-sheet or roll ) into the cutter.
2) Make sure that a tool is selected which is defined as being a knife (by default tool 1 &
tool 2 are set to be knives).
3) Make sure that a knife
with well adjusted depth
is mounted into the tool head.
4) If you have not yet performed the
offset adjustment routine
for the current knife
and/or vinyl, first perform this routine in order to obtain perfect quality.
5) Switch to
OFFLINE MODE
by pressing the ONLINE KEY. The ONLINE LED should be
OFF.
6) Start the test-cut by pressing
ENTER and TEST (JOG-UP
) simultaneously
. The
test-cut will be scaled automatically to fit the vinyl size. In case of a roll of vinyl, only the
width of the roll is taken into account. The cutter assumes that there is enough media
on the roll to perform a full width test cut. The user can determine the size of the testcut
by adjusting the position of the pressure rolls.
