Correcting the Misalignment of the Printing and Cutting Positions during Cutting

This method pauses a cutting operation to correct the misalignment of the printing and cutting positions. The correction values set here are applied as the default values of the printing and cutting positions.

If the printing and cutting positions are misaligned, you normally adjust the positions while checking a test pattern.

    Determine the values so as to correct the misalignment of the cutting position () in relation to the printing position (). In the case of the following figure, feed direction "F" is misaligned in a negative direction and scan direction "S" in a positive direction. Therefore, set the correction values for the feed direction "F" to positive values and the scan direction "S" to negative values. Measure the actual misalignment amount when determining the value.



  7. Set the correction values for the feed direction "F" and the scan direction "S."
    1. Press ▲ or ▼ to set the correction value for the feed direction (F).


    2. Press ◀ or ▶ to set the correction value for the scan direction (S).


    3. When you have finished setting the correction values, press ENTER.
  8. Press PAUSE to display the screen shown below.


  9. Press PAUSE again to restart the cutting operation.
    Hold down [PAUSE] for 1 second or longer to cancel the cutting operation.
