Basic Settings and Operations
Setting OFFSET
This setting adjusts the offset of the cutter blade to suit the blade type used. The tip of the blade
mounted in the cutter-pen plunger is not positioned at the center of the pen, so correction is
required. This correction is referred to as the OFFSET setting. The cutting plotter has been preset
with OFFSET values for each cutter-blade type. Selecting
"09U," "15U,"
or
"15B"
for the PEN
TYPE setting also sets the appropriate OFFSET, allowing fine adjustment within the range of
±
5.
When the
"PEN"
setting is selected, the OFFSET cannot be set.
