6.15 Operating Tips
Carefully lay out each sheet before you start cutting. Find the best cut pattern to give you the most
pieces out of the sheet. If the sheet will be folded, be sure grain of the paper is running in the same
direction as the fold or you will get a rough edge on the fold.
If an accurate cut is necessary for close register work, you MUST have a sharp blade in the cutter. A
dull blade will pull or draw the paper and cause uneven cutting. Increased clamp pressure will not
eliminate draw caused by a dull knife.
The correct clamping pressure varies from paper to paper. The general rule is that you should have
enough pressure to hold the paper securely but not so much that it marks the surface of the paper
excessively. Excessive pressure causes pile distortion and inaccurate cuts.
Mark the gripper edge and the guide edge of printed paper and make sure the first cuts are with these
guide edges against the backgauge.
Measure printed paper to check for shrinkage or expansion of the paper from humidity. You may
have to disregard the printed cut lines and make your own.
When cutting business cards or narrow strips of paper, place lifts of equal height on opposite sides of
the table to prevent wear of the clamp guides.
6.16 Note to Dealer
6.16.1 Entering the Dealer Name and Phone Number
To enter or change the dealer name and phone number that will be displayed when the lubrication
alarm is displayed and when the upgrade screen is displayed, you must first enter the “Dealer Mode”
screen. To do this, turn off the power and then simultaneously hold the left and right arrow keys while
turning on the power. Continue to hold the arrow keys for a few seconds after the machine turns on.
Now enter the desired dealer information by using the up and down arrow keys to toggle through the
