5 SETTINGS FOR EACH FUNCTION
• Using the Sheet Effectively
(Rotate function) — ROTATE Key and ROTATE LED
If there is still unused material on the right side, rotation allows you to use this remaining material effectively.
This function sets the origin point at the bottom right and rotates the text (or graphics) 90
°
.
You have already learned of the method whereby a new user origin is set, allowing
further cutting to be carried out within the remaining material. Depending on the
shape and the size of characters, however, you may wish to rotate a character
instead in order to cut it.
In this case, you can use the rotate function to rotate the character string "Roland"
at 90
°
, so that the whole character string then easily fits into the available material.
The "d" extends beyond the available material.
