Control Panel
Setting Speed and Force
You can manualy set the speed and force of the
cutter when you are in the LOCAL state. Use the
up and down arrows to adjust the speed and the
left and right arrows to adjust the cutting Force.
A typical cutting speed setting is 300, and a
typical cutting force setting is 70. Depending on
the material you may have to adjust these values
for thicker vinyl or intricate cuts.
Changing the speed and force while cutting is
possible. The cutter may pause briefly and resume
cutting once the new settings have been entered.
Setting the Origin Point
The origin point of the cutter can be set whenever
the cutter is in the PAUSE state by moving the
cutter head with the navigation keys on the
control panel and then pressing the ORIGIN key.
The cutter will store a new origin point at the
location of the cutter head and use this point to
start cutting. Pressing RESET or power cycling the
cutter will clear the current origin point, reposition
the cutter head at the Home (0,0) location and
store that as the new origin point.
An origin point specifies the right and bottom
border of where your cut will start.
Control Panel
The control panel allows
direct control of the
cutter state (Local/Paused),
change Speed/Force, per-
form an immediate test cut
and make a copy by
repeating the last cut job.
“System Is Idle” message on
the screen means that the
cutter is ready to go.
The various buttons and
functions of each button are
outlined here.
Some screens/buttons use different terms which all mean the same thing. This might help:
LOCAL = Idle = Online = Automatic = Waiting for commands from Computer or User at Control Panel
PAUSE = Paused = Offline = Manual = Waiting for co-ordinates from User at Control Panel
