(13) Click on Next and the Skycut’s camera will now move over each registration mark and take a photo and
make an adjustment. Once it has read all four marks plus the first one a second time, it will proceed to cut
out the printed shapes.
(14) After testing out this process, be sure to check out remaining sections in this chapter to understand
additional options, such as:
◊ Preparing a vector image for a PNC application – Section 3.05.2
◊ How to set up a grid of repeats – two methods - Section 3.07 and Section 3.10.1
◊ Adding additional registration marks to improve accuracy – Section 3.08
◊ Performing a PNC using the USB flash drive – Sections 3.09.1 and 3.10.2
◊ Using QR Codes to link a printout with a saved cutting job – Section 3.10
◊ How to make the scanning process even faster – Section 3.04.3
3.04.3 Two Timesavers: Fast Scan Mark and Extender Marks
• Two extra functions provide a quicker way to perform contour cuts and should be of interest to you if you are
in a production mode with your contour cutting projects:
◊ Fast Scan Mark: On the control panel, go to Set>Advanced settings>System Mode. Mark the option
for Fast Scan Mark and the camera will only take one photo at each mark instead of two or more
photos:
◊ An Extender Mark is a horizontal mark added to a contour cut printout and situated several inches (~
65 mm) to the left of the lower right registration mark:
◊ After the first reg mark is identified the camera moves to the Extender Mark and takes a photo. It then
compares the Y (up/down) location to that of the reg mark to determine if the two are in horizontal
alignment with one another. The Skycut’s firmware can then make a correction to take this into account.
