, ORIGIN SET

The PNC-900 allows you to set the origin point (0,0) to any location in the cutting area.

When the origin has been set at the desired point, cutting can be carried out anywhere on the loaded sheet.

After the sheet has been loaded, be sure to set the origin to the bottom left of the sheet. (When the Rotate function is used by pressing the ROTATE key, the direction of cutting is rotated 90°, moving the origin to the bottom right of the sheet.)

Also, to make efficient use of a sheet, you can set a new origin in an area on the sheet that has not been cut and then carry out cutting.

Immediately after loading a sheet and pressing the SETUP key to illuminate the SETUP LED, the origin point (0,0) is automatically set to a location near the stationary pinch roller.

When loading the sheet, the origin is set at the left front edge of the sheet if the sheet is loaded close to the stationary pinch roller without pulling the part of the sheet closest to the front of the unit over the platen. This makes it unnecessary to set a new origin point.

When the sheet is loaded with the part of the sheet closest to the front of the unit aligned with the guide line on the platen, no cutting is carried out on the portion of the sheet that is closer to the front of the unit than the origin point (i.e., cutting cannot be performed on areas of the sheet with negative coordinates). Follow the procedure described below to set the origin to the lower left edge of the sheet.

Procedure

*If a sheet has not yet been loaded, then before setting the origin point, refer to "Loading the Sheet" on page 7 to load the sheet correctly. Loading a sheet after the origin has been set (by pressing the SETUP key to extinguish the SETUP LED) cancels the origin that has been set.
