Flag Setup - Z Axis 58
It is necessary to run Diagnostic 34 to verify carriage flag setting before performing this
diagnostic.
This diagnostic configures the carriage to the cutter. It measures the up, down, and
bottom position of the knife so that it can properly raise and lower the knife without punching a
hole in the media.
From the Front Panel
scroll to
0058
then press the Select Key.
From the Remote Panel
click on
Flag Setup 58.
After starting a phase is display on the display of the cutter or under the word DISPLAY on the re-
mote panel.
Phase 4
: Set Tool Bottom - Remove the tool from the holder and press the Select Key.
Phase 5
: Set Tool Down - Adjust knife depth guide to equal the blade length. Place knife tool in
holder. Press the Select Key.
Phase 6 and 7 displayed on models 315 and 230 align the printing for the numbers on the force and
velocity pots to values received.
Phase 6
: set force and velocity pots to 1 then press select key (5 key on computer keyboard)
Phase 7
: set force and velocity pots to 100 then press select key (5 key on computer keyboard)
Power Down Cutter to continue.
Front Paper Sensor 26 / Rear Paper Sensor 27
Some units are configured with media present sensors. They detect the presence of media. If they
detect media a 1111 is displayed on the front panel. If they do not detect media 0000 is display. If
your cutter has paper sensors they will be mounted just below the oval holes in the platen on the
right side of the cutter. The paper dust must be removed from windows of sensors in order for sen-
sor to work correctly.
LED and Hex Display 29
Exercises the LEDS and the 4-character display.
Line Sensor 21
Continuously displays the result of the SmartMark
Line sensor. When you place a white piece
of material under sensor a number > 100 should be displayed. When you place a printer black tar-
get under sensor the reading should be < 20.
Lift/Lower Continuous 37
Exercises the z axis lift lower at different forces. Continuously raises and lowers the knife.
Lift/Lower Demand 38
Exercises the z axis lift lower at different forces. Raises and lowers the knife on each select key
press. While knife is down at a force the cutter displays the current through the voice coil and the
width of the pwm pulse to the z axis driver.
PWM Amplifier Status
This displays the power amplifier temperatures if the PWM power amplifier.
Read Calibration Constants
Reads and displays the scaling constants for the x and y axes. Safe to run. X and Y encoder counts
are dependent on model number.
