    • Cut Passes

    MEMO
    • The print data is an EPS file.
    • A cutting line has been drawn around the border.

  6. Click Print. Alternatively, right-click a job and select Print - Print.

    • If you do not want to specify the print count, see Printing Only Once at All Times in the VersaWorks 7 Master Guide.

  8. Click Print.
    Cutting starts along the cutting lines of the selected job. This operation is repeated for the number of times specified with Print Count.
