Introduction
INTEC COLORCUT SHEETFED - DIGITAL CUTTING SOLUTION
The Intec SC5000 is designed to cut light card products, label and vinyl materials effectively.
It includes a 'Dual Tool' cutting head featuring 2 independent tools,' A cutting blade and
creasing tool are supplied. (The creasing tool can be replaced by an additional cutting
blade (Optional) if required, enabling Die-Cut and Kiss cutting functionality instead of Cut
& Crease). There are also additional functions for cutting using perforated and dashed cut
features, plus a pen calibration tool used for the initial conguration of the machine.
The SC5000 includes a 'Dual Grip' feed system, that holds the media during cutting BOTH
sides of the cutting head, enabling the SC5000 to cut closer to the media edges than most
other types of cutter.
The ColorCut SC5000 solution consists of 2 parts:
Hardware
The Intec Digital Cutting Engine
Integrated Vision3 CCD Sensor for automatic registration mark sensing
Automatic Job Recognition & Wi- Echo(Live preview) through Vision3 CCD sensor
An integrated auto-sheet feeder for up to 1,000 sheets*
An integrated, concealed exit catch tray
A separate external USB Wi- Dongle for PC systems (enabling, users to connect
non-wi- based PC’s to view the ColorCut’s Vision3 sensors’ Live Preview)
Software
The ColorCut Pro - Production Studio cutter control software consists of 2 parts.
The ColorCutPro plug-in. Enables you to simply add Page Registration Marks for
cut jobs and provides the ability to send projects designed in Adobe Illustrator®
or CorelDRAW® directly to the Intec ColorCut SC5000 cutter (no need to convert
them to a different format). In addition the ColorCut Pro plugin can assign Job
numbers or QR codes and send jobs to the ColorCut Pro job library which can be
running on the same or a different computer.
The ColorCut Pro Job Server. A stand-alone version of ColorCut Pro, providing
simple interface enabling jobs to be cut at any time, without requiring Adobe
Illustrator or Corel Draw and without having to re-open the original le ideal for
production environments, where the ‘graphic designer’ creates the work and other
individuals within your company ‘nish’ or cut the work.
The ColorCut Pro software works in conjunction with the Vision3 CCD sensor
integrated into your ColorCut hardware, detecting the PageMARK in a fraction
of a second and adapting the cut path to any variations in the origin, scale or
skew distortion of the print. The Vision3 CCD sensor can also read the QR code
and retrieve your cut les instantly enabling any user to cut jobs as long as they
have a QR code on them and enabling a mixed stack of jobs to be loaded for true
unattended productivity.
Please use this guide to set up your ColorCut SC5000 cutter and install your ColorCut
software. For details specically on ColorCut Pro software and how to use it with your
SC5000 please refer to the separate - ColorCut Pro (SC5000) software guide.

The SC5000 uses the Vision3 registration system in conjunction with the ColorCut Pro
software to identify your cutting registration marks (PageMarks), and to read the QR
code for retrieving job numbers.
Please Note: ColorCut Pro does NOT require a live video feed to do this,
your cutting will work perfectly ne with no video connection as all this is
all handled in the cutter. However, in addition to the 'on-board' registration
and QR code handling, the Vision3 registration camera's control system
includes an image echo function that broadcasts the video feed from the
Vision3 sensor over Wi-Fi. You can connect to the live video stream using
the ColorCut Pro application and view the video feed which is useful when
cutting, helping you to identify issues and so you can see while placing
sheets if you are working in a manual mode. manually, We do recommend
you do enable this feature. Please follow the guide below on how to
connect to the live video feed before launching ColorCut Pro.
2.1 Using Wi-Fi to connect to SC5000 - Live Video Feed
This SC5000’s Vision3 registration system has a camera image echo function, and the
live feed feed from the echo is transmitted through WLAN. To connect to the Video
feed, you will need to broadcast a Wi-Fi Direct connection from the computer that is
running ColorCut Pro.
The SC5000 cutter will connect to a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi Direct connection or Wi-HotSpot
dened as follows:
SSID: H3
Password: 12345678
If your computer is not a laptop, then you may not have Wi-Fi capabilities on your PC,
therefore your Intec SC5000 is supplied with a USB Wi-Fi Dongle B. to enable you to
do this.
If you are connected on a PC with a Wi-Fi connection (such as a laptop you can ignore
this step).
Chapter 2 - SETTING UP A WI-FI HOTSPOT
B
1. Insert the Wi-Fi Dongle supplied with the
SC5000.
2. When the dongle is recognised, please install
the drivers (supplied in the Wi-Fi dongle box).

2.2 How to create a HotSpot (2 different approaches).
Once you have Wi-Fi enabled on your computer, there are 2 methods to connect to
your Intec SC5000 atbed cutter.
1. Use the built in Windows HOTSPOT function. This is easy to use, and uses
Windows 10’s own HOTSPOT feature.
Note: Even though, you are will be connecting directly to the SC5000 cutter
(and you are not using the internet for this connection), the Windows HotSpot
feature requires an internet connection before you can enable the HotSpot.
So please bear in mind, without an internet connection made via a router
the Windows HOTSPOT feature can not be enabled. If you do not have
an internet connection then we recommend creating a DIRECT connection
(Below) which is how newer devices like some TV remote controls (Roku 3 )
work, to do this use a utility like Wi-Fi Direct Access point (below).
2. Use the Wi-Fi Direct Access Point. This is a paid for utility from the
Windows Store, for Windows 10 users.
Wi-Fi Direct, makes a direct connection the the SCCCC500’s Wi- video feed
from the Camera eliminating any routers or network management issues. It
does this using the Wi-Fi Direct standard, which enables devices to easily
connect with each other without requiring a wireless access point. Wi-Fi Direct
allows two devices to establish a direct Wi-Fi connection without requiring a
wireless router.
2.3 Method 1 - Using Windows Wi-Fi HotSpot
1. Check the task bar on your computer and
ensure you have an internet connection. If
NO Wi-Fi connection shows, or the “Not
connected to the Internet” icon shows C
then click on the icon and connect to your
Wi-Fi router and enter any ID or passwords
required.
2. Check the task bar on your computer and
ensure you have a the Wi-Fi connection
showing D. (This is essential to start the
Wi-Fi HotSpot)

Configuring Windows Wi-Fi HotSpot.
3. Left click on the Wi-Fi icon D in the task bar
to display the ‘Wi-Fi, Network & Internet setting’
menu, then Right mouse click over the Mobile
Hotspot E button in the lower right.
The sub menu item ‘Go to Settings’ will be
displayed. Click this.

4. The ‘Windows Mobile hotspot’ conguration menu will be displayed. This menu
is only required when initially setting up the HotSpot. Each time you activate the
HotSpot after this, the settings for the SSID, and Password will be remembered.
The Intec SC5000 is
set to make a direct
connection to a
2.4GHz WLAN with
an SSID of “H3”, and
broadcasts the Live
video feed to that
connection .
You need to set up
your HotSpot to
match this SSID
name. Click Edit F
to congure yoru
Hotspot to 2.4GHz,
and set your SSID
and the password for
connection.
If you can’t activate the HotSpot and you
see the message show to the right, then
you skipped step 2. You must ensure
you have an internet connection to use
Windows HotSpot, even though the
cutter does not need one.

Setting the SSID when using Windows Wi-Fi HotSpot.
5. Under, Network Name, enter the SSID name ‘H3’ as shown G. Within the eld,
Network password, enter the password ‘12345678’H (The SC5000 automatically
will connect to the SSID H3, with a password of ‘12345678’. So, these entries
must be set to match.
6. The Intec SC5000’s Image Echo feature broadcasts using 2.4GHz, so it is
essential that you set the ‘Network Band’ Ito 2.4GHz, if you set it to 5GHz
the cutter will not connect to your HotSpot and you will not be able to see the
Camera.
7. Click save to save nish and save your setting. These will be remembered and in
future you only need to enable or disable the connection. When you click SAVE
you will be returned to the ‘Windows Mobile hotspot’ conguration dialogue box.
