Scanning a Background Image
In this example, we will use material with a cutout in
its upper-left corner as a background image.
Memo
•
The background scanning function is also
useful when cutting out patterns from material
with a design on it. By arranging the patterns on
the screen in the desired patterned area of the
material, cutouts with a specific design can be
created.
•
This function cannot be used when an optional
scanning mat is used.
•
Depending on the machine model, the sizes of
mats that can be used will differ. Check the
“Maximum Scanning Area” under “Machine
Information” on page 5 of the settings screen.
