Cutting Instructions:
- Turn on the machine and press CLEAR to preset the backgauge (if not already done so). Press the soft-key “B” (Job) to go to job mode.
- Now open the desired job by using one of two methods: move the cursor down to the desired job using the arrow keys and press ENTER, or type the job number using the keypad and press ENTER. Once the job has been opened, the current job number will be displayed in the upper right corner.
- Now press SEND. This will move the backgauge to the 10.75” position. The diagram on the following page shows the positions for each cut. Place the paper to be cut against the backgauge and left side guide as shown in the diagram.
Note: The first and second cut may not line up to the crop marks due to variances in printers or copiers. If they do not line up, use the manual slide switch to adjust the backgage to place the stock in the right position for the first cut. Once the cut is made, the backgage will move to the second position. Again, if the crop mark is not lined up, adjust the manual slide switch and cut the stock. The remaining cuts should line up correctly.
After each cut the backgage will automatically move to the next position and the machine will beep when it is ready for the next cut. Alternate cutting on the left and right side of the table so wear and stress is equal on the knife and clamp.
Tip: On odd number days cut on the left side and even number days use the right side.
12. Type in 2 and press ENTER.
13. Now choose one of the following options: To exit
4. To exit back to send mode, press the soft-key “D” (Exit).
