3.10 Achieving Optimum Cutting Results
The quality of cutting operations is determined by the settings of the five parameters below.
• Blade length
Adjust the blade length according to the thickness of the medium (see Section 3.4, “Adjusting the Blade
Length”).
• FORCE, SPEED, QUALITY
Set these conditions according to the combination of medium and cutter blade you are using (see
Section 3.8, “Setting the Cutting Conditions”).
• OFFSET
Set this condition according to the type of cutter blade you are using (see Section 3.8, “Setting the
Cutting Conditions”).
To ensure optimum cutting results, be sure to set the above parameters in conformance with the guidelines
provided in the tables below.

When using a blade type that is not listed in the table above or when a cutting operation using a thick or
otherwise difficult to cut medium produces unsatisfactory results, set the blade type to OTHER and then
alternately adjust the OFFSET value and run a cutting test until the desired results are achieved.
The table below lists sample OFFSET settings when the blade type is set to OTHER.
