All the 100% magenta lines in your cutting file will be recognized as dashed. Here you can set the cut length and the spacing between each on of them.
4. Approximation of the cut curves. 5. . If cut sorting is enabled, the software will automatically select the order of the cut of all the shapes on the file. Otherwise, the cut will follow the .pdf layers order. 6. When you print your rolls, sometimes you may have distortion on your output. In that case, even with a correct set of the offsets, the cut may not match your print. You will have to enable the distortion fixer, and set the corrections.
Y axis cutting direction + STEP 1 VERIFY THE CORRESPONDENCE OF THE CUT WITH THE PRINT STEP 2 AT THE POINT INDICATED, ADJUST OFFSET TO ALIGN THE CUT WITH THE PRINT STEP 3 INCREASE OR DECREASE THE “COMPRESSION” PARAMETER (Y) 7. With thin materials the cut may not be closed. To fix this, enable the overcut, and set how much you want the blade to start early, or end later. You can anticipate or delay the end of the cut up to 0.9mm for each one.
8. Check area parameters lets you change the position of the Black-Mark’s checking area, which is the blue square shown in the camera preview while the blank mode is disabled. 9. In case your print has distorted the output of your blackmark, you can change the tolerances to let the cam recognize it. The tolerances must be positive values. If your blackmark side is smaller than 4mm (for 4x4mm) or 2mm (for 2x2mm), you will have to reduce the minimum area by 100, until the blackmark is recognized.
