The DIP switches are located on the right face of the unit, near the bottom.

SW-1–4 : Sets the communication parameters for a serial connection. When the PNC-5000 is connected to the computer through the serial port, be sure that the communication parameters for SW-1 to SW-4 are set correctly, matching the computer port settings.

(Data length is fixed to 8 bits.)

SW-5 : Detects automatically the front edge of loaded material. To detect the front edge of loaded material, set SW-5 to ON (en- abled).

SW-6 : Detects length of cut material automatically. Switch to ON (enabled) when loading sheet material, and OFF (disabled) when loading roll material.

SW-7 : Sets the amount of offset for the cutter blade. Set to OFF when using a tool with a blade offset of 0.25 mm, or to ON when using a tool with a blade offset of 0.5 mm.

SW-8 : Sets the weight of the material. SW-8, which controls the material weight, should normally be set to OFF (light). Cutting speed slows down when switch is turned ON, but the force used to move the material and the blade increases.

SW-9 : Switch on if wish for crop marks to be printed automatically. Switch off to avoid crop marks.
