Step 2: Set the Printing Conditions

Set the printing range for Print & Cut as well as the crop marks.

Procedure
  1. Click File - Printing Setup.
    CutStudio_File_PrintingSetup
  2. Click Set up the printer.
    CutStudio_PrintingSetup_SetUpThePrinter
  3. Set the document size, and then click OK.
    CutStudio_Print-Setup_OK
  4. Select the number of crop marks.

    Select 4 or 3 from Layout Points.

    CutStudio_PrinterSetup_LayoutPoints
    4 Crop marks: 4 points
    3 Crop marks: 3 points
    MEMO

    Normally use 4.

    As 3 has fewer crop marks to read than 4, the time required for cutting is saved, but this is not available in Tool Mode.

  5. Click Fit into shared area for cutting and printing.

    The crop mark location is set automatically.

    CutStudio_PrintingSetup_FitIntoSharedArea
    MEMO

    When setting crop mark positions manually, refer to the table below and specify the margins and the distance between crop marks. When using material with a large amount of feed (long material), we recommend that you set the left and right margins to approximately 25 mm (0.98 in.).
