Preparation of cutter plunger
Set the cutter blade in the cutter plunger and then use it with
the cutter plotter. Set the cutter blade in the cutter plunger
according to the instruction manual supplied with the cutter
plunger.
Adjusting the blade length
Refer to the instruction manual supplied with the cutter
plunger and adjust the blade length according to the media.
The blade will gradually extend to suit the thickness of the
media being cut; the optimal length is slightly greater than
the thickness of the media. A test cut will then be performed,
and the blade length adjusted if there is any media left uncut.
When using the thin media such as a film, adjust the blade
length using the supplied loupe. (Refer to User’s Manual.)
