4.11 Setting the Cutting/Plotting Area
This function allows the area in which cutting/plotting will be performed to be specified, thereby preventing
cutting/plotting outside the specified area. This function enables more efficient use of the film through the
specification of uncut portions of a film that have already been cut, to avoid the previously cut areas. Note
that setting of the cutting/plotting area also repositions the origin point in accordance with the movement of
the cutting area.

setting position, and then press the (ENTER) key. The coordinates of the
lower-left position set are displayed. To make the default setting, press the
(ORIGIN) key.
Once the lower-left position has been set, the coordinates for the upper-right posi-
tion are displayed. Set these coordinates in the same way as for the lower-left posi-
tion.
