●Values in Inches

If you want to enter values in inches in all modes which require a numeric entry, set Inch Entry to [On] in Common Settings (from the Additional Functions screen). (See “Common Settings,” on p. 12‑6.) This enables you to enter values in inches when you press [Inch] on a screen requiring a numeric entry or measurement.

The default entry mode for numeric values is inches, but you can change it to millimeters by turning the Inch Entry mode [Off].

The following example shows you how to enter 5 1/2" for X value in the Irregular Size mode.

–If you make a mistake when entering values, press [C], then enter the correct values.

–You can enter only 2, 4, 8, or 16 as the denominator.

–The value entered in inches is converted to millimeters by the machine each time it is entered. Thus, there may be a slight difference between the value calculated and the actual value entered.

–To enter values in millimeters, press [mm].
