Chapter IV Preparation
4-1 Mark Sensor Setting
< PICTURE 4-1 >
When installing the label media, make sure that the sensor is properly installed and the sensitivity of the
sensor is well-adjusted to recognize the mark correctly. Make sure that the green indicator light is on when
the sensor is looking at the blank white space, and the yellow and green indicator lights are on when the
sensor is looking at the black mark.
1. Calibration of mark sensor
The mark sensor is moving together with the cutting heads. It detects the black mark on the material and
recognizes exactly where to begin cutting. Move the mark sensor and place the sensor's light spot at the
center of the black mark. Usually we use 4 mm x 4 mm square black marks.
If you are using dark-colored marks on a light background media, set the D/L switch to "L" (light) position.
Move the white background into the sensor’s focus. Rotate the adjusting knob to starting position of "+"
(the right limit position). Turn the adjusting knob to the "-" direction until the yellow LED goes out. Keep
this as position 1. Then move the black mark into the sensor focus (the yellow LED lights up again) and
continue turning the adjusting knob in the "-" direction until the yellow LED is extinguished again (position
2). Rotate the knob back and set it between positions 1 and 2 to have in optimal position between
switching threshold.
< PICTURE 4-2>
Mark sensor

Pag 13
If you are using dark colored media with light colored mark, set the D/L switch to "D" (dark) position.
Move the sensor’s focus on the light-colored mark first. Rotate the adjusting knob to starting position of "+"
(the right limit position). Turn the adjusting knob in the "-" direction until the yellow LED goes out. Keep
this as position 1. Then move the dark background to the sensor’s focus (the LED lights up again) and
continue rotating the adjusting knob in the "-" direction until the yellow LED turns off again (position 2).
* Tip : The yellow LED will be lighted when sensor focus is on dark color. When sensor is acting in
opposite behavior, change the HD switch on the other direction.
4-2 Cutting head installation
There are many kinds of cutting blades. Select the cutting blade that best suits the media to be cut.

Applications and features
VD 09U
ø0.9 mm
0.45
VD340-09U
Cut color stickers standard blade. Suitable
for cutting 0.25 mm thick media.
Cutting length: about 4000 m
VD 15U
ø1.5 mm
0.75
VD340-15U
Can cut thicker media than VD09U can
cut. Suitable for cutting media from 0.25
mm to 0.5 mm thickness.
1. Knife structure
The cutting machine uses a cutting blade mounted in the knife holder for
cutting. There are two different tool holders to fit the diameter of the installed
blade (the 0.9 mm tool holder provides the standard tool holder). Be sure to
install the cutting blade to the correct knife holder as shown in Figure 4-3.
< PICTURE 4-3 >

Pag 14
2. Replace cutting blade
See Figure 4-4~4-5 and carefully hold the blade to avoid cutting yourself
< PICTURE 4-4 >
< PICTURE 4-5 >
Step 1 - Rotate the blade length adjustment knob to retract the blade back to the knife
holder as shown in Figure 4-6.
< PICTURE 4-6>
Step 2 - Rotate the knife holder counterclockwise to remove it from the knife holder.
Step 3 - Remove the blade from the holder cap.
Step 4 - Insert the new blade into the hole in the holder cap.
Step 5 - Insert the blade into the holder cap and tighten the holder cap.
3. Adjust the blade length
If the blade protrudes longer than the thickness of the media to be cut, it can damage the cutting pad.
Be sure to adjust the blade length correctly.
Step 1 - Rotate the blade length adjustment knob to adjust the blade length. The blade extends in the
direction of "A" and retracts in the direction of "B". Spin for each rotation of the knob, the blade moves
approximately 0.5 mm. See Figure 4-7.

Pag 15
< PICTURE 4-7>
Step 2 - First align the tip of the cutting tip with the tip of the cutting tip, and then extend the blade from
this position depending on the thickness of the media to be cut.
Step 3 - Assuming the face paper thickness is "t" (as shown in Figs. 4-8), the blade length "l" should be
equal to or slightly longer than "t".
"l" must not exceed the total thickness of the face paper and its base paper. If you cannot accurately
determine the thickness of the tissue, increase it little by little to adjust the knife.
The length of the blade until the blade leaves only traces on the base paper after cutting.
< PICTURE 4-8>
Step 4 - Loosen the pen holder screw and attach the cutting knife. After the cutting knife is correctly
positioned, tighten the pen holder screw, as shown in Figure 4-9.
< PICTURE 4-9 >

4-3 Material Preparation
Sort out material sheets evenly and place on the lifting platform of the die-cutting machine. The black mark
of the material needs to be on the left side. Fix the upper left corner of the material to be aligned with the
upper left corner of the machine and use 2 magnetic plates to fix the other two sides. See picture 4-10.
< PICTURE 4-10 >
Then start the system. Click on the screen to reset and enter the number of sheet to cut. If you are using
double knives at the same time, you need to adjust the distance between the heads on the control panel.
After sending a file from a computer or reading a file from a USB flash drive, the lifting platform of the die-
cutting machine will rise till top material’s touching the upper limit sensor. The suction belt delivers the top
sheet of material to the cutting platform automatically.
4-4 Die Cutting Preparation
Use left, right, up and down arrow keys on the control panel, make the beam focus the target sensor on the
black mark and check if the yellow light is on, as shown in Fig. 4-11. Then press OK button to start die-
cutting job.
