Function
This switches on and off the sub power . When the power is
switched on, the POWER LED lights up.
This detects the presence and the width of the media, and
displays the printable width.
The SETUP LED flashes while detection of media width is
in progress. When setup finishes, the SETUP LED lights up
continuously.
Also press this key when removing the media.
Pressing this key when any of the various menu screens is
displayed returns you to the top screen. (When this is done,
media setup cannot be canceled.)
The [PAUSE] key pauses printing. The PAUSE LED lights
up while paused.
Pressing this key again cancels the paused state.
Holding down the [SETUP] key for about 1 second while
paused causes remaining data to be cleared and cancels the
media's setup state.
This cuts off the media at the present location of the blade
tip. Press this to cut off the portion already printed or cut
from the roll.
You cannot sever a piece of media while printing or cutting
is in progress.
This enters the menu for setting the conditions for cutting.
You can set the values for blade force, cutting speed, blade
offset compensation, and tool movement speed when raising
the tool.
For more information, see "6-1 Menus Flowchart."
* When [CUTTING PRIOR] on the machine's menu has been
set to [COMMAND], the program's settings for the cutting
conditions take priority.
To give priority to the cutting conditions set on the machine,
turn off the program settings, or set the [CUTTING PRIOR]
menu to [MENU].
Pressing the [AUTO ALIGN] key after setup has finished
displays the screen for selecting the mode for reading crop
marks.
[BASE-ALIGN]: This reads the four crop marks and cor-
rects the axes and distance for the origin-point location, scan-
ning direction, and feed direction.
[BASE]: This reads the lower-right crop mark and corrects
only the origin-point location.
This sets the print or cutting start location in the scanning
direction (the direction of carriage movement). Pressing the
[BASE POINT] key when align points have already been
set clears all align-point settings.
