prevent the media from slipping during a cutting or plotting operation.

Pressing the (NEXT) or (PREV.) key during the
feed operation aborts the feed operation and returns the
medium to its original position.
• The feed operation starts immediately once the feed length
has been set and the (ENTER) key is pressed. Make sure
there are no obstructions at the front or rear of the cutting plot-
ter.
• When using roll media, either extend and load the length to be
used beforehand or use the media feed procedure (“4.3 Set-
ting the FEED function”, “4.4 Setting AUTO PRE-FEED”).
Beginning cutting or plotting without feeding the media first
may generate a position error or may cause the roll media to
fall off the stock shaft.
