Data
This feature compensates for any direction on the X-axis and Y-axis using
sophisticated fifth-generation algorithms. This leads to more accurate registration and
improves the reliability and quality of Print & Cut.
4-point axis alignment
Improved ARMS 5.0 for high precision cutting
The sensitivity of the registration mark sensor is automatically set by measuring
the reflective level of the mark and the background of the actual media. The mark can be
detected when the colour of the mark has a reasonable contrast against the background.
For example, a white mark can also be detected on a coloured background.

Settings can be easily set up using the large 3-inch LCD and tactile control panel. It is icon
driven and supports multiple languages.
Perforation cutting is performed by controlling
the cutting force instead of blade up/down
movements, increasing throughput. This is
perfect for cutting separation lines for tearing
out labels, fold lines for POP signs, and
others.
Auto-paneling is a new feature that
automatically splits long-length jobs into
smaller pages that are cut sequentially but
without any gaps. The result is a seamless,
long-length finished job. Media movement is
limited to the smaller page being cut,
improving accuracy and tracking.

ISM incorporates a new scanning algorithm that expands the range of
compatible media. ISM increases the mark scanning success, and can also detect the
registration mark on textured media, such as brushed aluminum, or glossy laminated
materials that were difficult using the conventional method.

Multiple-mark compensation
When the design is printed with the matrix copy function, the action of reading
the marks and contour cutting is repeated for each copy. It significantly improve
productivity for Print & Cut.
Segment area compensation
The 4-point axis alignment is performed for each segmented area. In Normal Mode,
this is performed by reading the mark in the middle of the feeding direction for the entire
graphic and then cutting the entire graphic, provides high-precision alignment for long length
Print & Cut applications. In the new Sequential Mode, contour cutting is performed
sequentially in each segmented area. Media movement is limited to the smaller area being cut,
improving accuracy and tracking for heavier media or media that has been laminated.
Auto mark
detection
The first registration mark is automatically detected
within a wide search area; this eliminates the need
to manually move the sensor near the registration
mark position. Subsequent marks are automatically
located which improves the operation of the
registration mark searching.

It searches the green area as the first step.
If there is no mark detected, it then searches
the yellow areas.

* Normal mode is available when Graphtec Studio, Cutting Master 2/3, or Plotter Controller software
is used. Sequential mode is available when Graphtec Studio (ver. 2.1.200 or later) or Cutting Master
3 (ver. 2.1.211 or later) is used. This function is available in firmware version 2.10 or later. Media
must be within the specification in range. Marks may not be detected due to poor printing quality or
media surface.
* Media must be within the specification range. Marks may not be detected due to poor printing quality or media surface.
