• This setting is retained in the memory even when the
power is turned off.
• The cutting plotter’s distance precision is guaranteed for
page-feed lengths of up to 5 meters, provided that the
following conditions are satisfied. Long-axis cutting over
5 meters is possible for lengths of up to 50 meters in the
feeding direction.
Guaranteed precision conditions:
–The cutting plotter is mounted on its stand.
–Gerber-specified film is used with the stipulated set-
ting conditions.
Film: 3M plastic-backed film
Setting conditions: Cutter speed, 30 cm/s max; Quality, 2
• In the case of long-axis cutting, be particularly careful when loading color adhesive-
backed film. If the film is loaded at even a slight angle, the film may come loose from
the rollers that hold it in place.
• When using roll media, either extend and load the length to be used beforehand or
use the media feed procedure (“4.3 Setting 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.
