  1. Click Output 1.
    FillingINK8

    The machine will print a test pattern and perform a cutting test.

  2. Check the results of Output 1.

    Check for misalignment between the printed square and cut square.

    • Adjustment is not necessary if there is no misalignment. Click OK and proceed to step 9.

    • If there is misalignment, proceed to step 3 to perform adjustment.

  3. Click Output 2.
    The machine will print a test pattern for adjustment and perform a cutting test.
  4. Check the results of Output 2.

    The point where the cutting line (A) intersects the correction-value scale (B) is the correction value. In the following figure, the correction value is "−0.3."

    MEMO

    Cutting will be performed along the red lines in the following figure. Peel the media from the backing paper for checking.
