Initialoperationofthedevice

Makesurethatthereissufficientspaceforthefilmtransportinfrontofandbehindthedevice.The

cuttermayonlybeoperatedinacleananddryenvironment.

 

● Connectthevinylcuttertoa230Vsocketusingthesuppliedpowercable.

● Nowswitchonthecutter.



Installingandadjustingtheblade  

● Takethesuppliedcuttingbladeandplaceitinthebladeholderinsuchaway,thatthe

sharpsideextendsatthefront.

● Nowsetthecuttingdepthbyturningthescrewattheupperendofthe bladeholder.

● Initially,thedepthiscorrectlysetifyoucancarefullymoveyourfingertipacrosstheblade

andfeelonlyalightscratching.Sincethedepthadjustmentforthebladedependsonthe

material,itmaybenecessarytoadjustitlater. 

● Securethebladesettingbytighteningthegoldlocknut. 

● Press thepinontherearendofthebladeholdertoremoveandreplace thebladeatany

time.Cautionriskofinjury!



Thevariousmaterialthicknessesrequiredifferentbladesettingsorevenspecialblades;itmay

thereforebenecessarytorepeattheadjustmentdescribedabove.



Insertingthebladeholder



● First,sufficientlyloosentheclampingscrewforthebladeholderonthecuttinghead.

● Next,pressdownthebladeholderfromaboveintotheholeontherightsideuntilthereis

contactandpullthelocknuttight.Indoingso,pleaseensurethatthebladeholderisalso

securedcorrectlyfromabovebymeansofthefixtureprovidedforthispurpose.



a)Clamp



b)Bladeholder



Insertingthefilm



● Alwaysinsertthematerialintothedevicefromtherear.

● Pullthefilmuptothecuttingbartocorrectlysetthezeropoint.

● Ifinsertingarollinsteadofafilmsheet,youcanusethesuppliedholderintegratedintothe

basetoensurethefilmisrolledoffcleanly.

● When inserting,pleaseensurethatthefilmisinsertedstraighttopreventwarpingduring

transportofthefilm.Insertingafilmevenafewmillimetersoffanglecanresultinsignificant

deviationofthefilmwhenprocessinglargecutjobs.

● Youmayinsertthefilmintothedeviceatanypoint,providedthepressurerollerisinthe

areaoftheblackandwhiterectanglesonthecrossbar. 

● Fixatebothpressurerollersbyflippingtheclampingleverontherear rightsideofthe

device.

● Thecontactpressurecanbechangedbytensioningthespringsonthe individualpinch

rollers,shouldthisbenecessary.



Cuttingtest 



● Executethecuttingtestbyclickingthe„Test“button.Thevinylcutter willcutatriangle

witharectangularborderintotheinsertedfilm/vinylatthecurrentlysavedzeropoint.

Afterwards,thevinylcutterwillmovethefilmupby20cm,sothatyoucaneasilycheckthe

testcut.





● Youcanchecktheadjustmentofthebladeholderaswellasthecontactpressurewiththis

cuttingtest.Theinsertedmaterialshouldbecutcleanlyandstraightduringthecuttingtest;

thecarriermaterialshouldnotbedamaged.

● Afterreviewingthetestcut,press"OK"tomovethefilmbacktothezeropoint.





● Ifthecarriermaterialhasbeencutthrough,eitherthecontact pressureissettoohigh

orthebladeorbladeholderaresetincorrectly.Changethesesettingsandperformthe

cuttingtestagain.

● Alsoreadjustifthevinylwascutimpreciselyortoaninsufficientdepth.

ContourcutwithLAPOSQ

LAPOSQisasystemforautomaticpositioningofprintedmediainyourT60II,T120toIIandT160

IIvinylcutter,allowingyoutocutprintedelementswithabsolutecontouraccuracy,andwithout

misalignmentordistortion,byusinganydesirednumberofcropmarks.TheuseofLAPOSQwith

DrawCutProisexplainedinthefollowingsteps.

Calibration

BeforethefirstuseofLAPOSQ,thevinylcutterrequiresaninitialcalibrationtodeterminethe

correctlaseroffset.



● Thefirststepistoopenthe"VinylSpooler".





● Nowclickon"LaposQController"





15



● Next, clickon"Cutter"andthenclick"AutoCalibrateLaserOffset"fromthedropdown

menuthatappears.





● Insert ablanksheetofpaperintovinylcutter,asrequestedbyDrawCutPro.Also,the

cutterheadmustbeequippedwiththeplotpenincludedinthescopeofdelivery.Roughly

positiontheplotpeninthemiddleofthepaperandsetthezeropointonthedevice.Once

you'vecompletedthesesteps,pleaseconfirmbyclickingthe"Yes"button.





● Theplotterwillimmediatelystartthecalibration.Afterabrieforientation,youmustinitiate

theprocessbyclicking"Yes"oncemore.





16

 

● Theplotterwillnowautomaticallyperformthecalibrationandreportthecorrectlaseroffset

foryourdevice,whichyouneedtoconfirmbyclickingon"OK".



ThefirstcontourcutwithLAPOSQ

Oncethecalibrationiscomplete,youcanproceedwiththeactualcontourcut.

 

● Youmayforexamplebeginbycreatingalogowiththetexttoolorimportinganyvector

graphics.

● Open theContourCutWizardfromtheDrawCutPROheader.





17





● Createanoutlineusingthedesiredparametersunder"Createacuttingcontour".Confirmit

byclicking"Accept".



● NowopentheContourCutWizard.Makesurethat"LAPOSQ"isselected.Nowyoucan

printorsavethegraphicsyou'vecreated.Ensurethattheprinterisconfiguredtoprintit

usingtheactualsizeanddoesn'tscaleit.



● Inthenextstep,thesavedcutjobmustbeadded.Todothis,simplyclick"AddCutJob".

DrawCutPROwillnowautomaticallyassignajobID,whichisstoredinthesoftwareand

canbecalledatanytime,eitherbyreadingthebarcodeorbymanuallyloadingthejobID.





18



 

● Open the"LaposQcontroller"intheVinylSpooler.







19

● Place yourprintoutinthevinylcutterasseeninthescreenshotbelow.Toporbottomfirst

doesn'tmatter,becausethesoftwarewilldetectthedirectiontheprintoutwasinsertwhen

readingthebarcode.Positionthevinylcutter'slaseranalogoustothereddotinthe

screenshotbelowandsetitasorigin.Thensimplystartthecontourcutbyclickingon
