4-3 About the Cutting Area

The cutting area along the horizontal plane (the direction in which the tool carriage moves) is determined by the position of the pinch rollers.

The workable area spans the length between the two rollers, minus a margin of about 1 mm (about 0.04") on both sides.

If the material length is greater than 1,600 mm (62-15/16") when a flat material (paper) has been loaded, the CM-500/400/300 deter-

mines it to be a rolled material and sets the material length to 24,998 mm (984-1/8"). Also, when loading flat material (that is, when

[PIECE] has been selected), a piece of material that is about 100 mm (3-15/16") longer than the vertical size of the cutting data is

required.

4-4 Setting the Origin Point

The CM-500/400/300 allows the origin point (0,0) to be set at any position in the cutting area.

Loading material and pressing the key causes the first origin point to be determined. The origin point that's determined first when

the

key is pressed differs according to what you selected for [SELECT SHEET] with the control panel when loading the material.

If there is no need to move the origin initially set, then it is not necessary to make the origin point setting immediately after loading a

material.

You can also set the origin to an uncut area of a material in order to use the material with maximum effectiveness.
