4-2 DIP Switch Settings
DIP switches settings must be made only when the power is turned off.
The DIP switches are located on the right-hand side of the unit.
The DIP switches set the serial port communication parameters, the value for the blade offset, the type of sheet loaded,
and the smoothing function (for cutting smooth circles and arcs).
When the PNC-950 is connected to the computer through the serial port, be sure that the communication parameters for
SW-1 to SW-6 are set correctly, matching the computer port settings.
SW-7, which controls the blade offset, should normally be set to OFF (0.25 mm).
SW-8, which controls the sheet weight, should normally be set to OFF (light). See "Cutting Thicker Sheets" on page 15
for an explanation of the settings for SW-8.
SW-9, which controls the loaded sheet type, should be set to match the sheet that will be used (loaded). Set this to ON
when using a flat sheet (piece), and set it to OFF (roll) when using a rolled sheet.
SW-10, which controls smoothing, should be set to OFF (smoothing on) when you want to cut smooth circles and arcs.

• All DIP switches are set to OFF when shipped from the factory.
• When SW-2 is set to OFF, SW-3 may be set to either ON or OFF.
• When SW-8 is set to ON (heavy), cutting speed ranges from 10 cm/sec to 100 cm/sec. This speed is
not exceeded while the switch is at this setting, even if an instruction specifying a cutting speed
greater than 100 cm/sec is sent from the computer.
4-3 Installing the Blade
• Always make sure the power switch is OFF before installing
(or replacing) the cutter.
• Do not touch the tip of the blade with your fingers, as the
cutting performance of the blade will be impaired.
Installing a Blade in the Blade Holder
Insert a blade into the blade holder until it
snaps into place with an audible click.
* Take care not to break or chip the blade.
