SummaSign series Cutters
NORMAL OPERATION
The term "normal operation" covers on line operation, off line operation and local
operation, i.e. the three types of operation for actual cutting or plotting. They are
explained in further detail in the following paragraphs.
ON LINE AND OFF LINE
On line and off line are two important concepts when using the SummaSign cutters.
The cutter is on line only when the following message is displayed on the LCD :
800mm/s 120 g
K
.45mm
(1
)
ON LINE
1
This display message should be read as follows :
800 mm/s
=
velocity
120 g
=
knife pressure or pen pressure
K
=
knife operation (K) or pen operation (P) or pouncing
operation
.45 mm
(1)
=
knife offset - only displayed when in drag knife mode
ON LINE
=
cutter is ready to receive data
1
=
user number
In all other cases, the cutter is off line.
When on line, the cutter can be addressed by the host computer, which means that the
cutter will execute cutting or plotting instructions issued by the host computer's
application software. The host computer will first issue a SELECT sequence to the on
line cutter, and the message "*ON LINE" will be displayed on the LCD. The asterisk
indicates that the host is in communication with the cutter : i.e. the cutter is now
“selected” by the computer.
When the cutter is on line and ready to receive instructions from the host computer, it
will remain deselected until actual instructions from the computer are received. When
the cutter is on line, but has not been selected by the host computer, the message "ON
LINE" is displayed on the LCD, without the asterisk.
For normal cutting operations, the cutter
MUST
be on line, so that it can receive
instructions from the host computer and the cutting/plotting software.
