10. ers 3 check if there are some problems on the files you are ready to output 7 3 Question why does zigzag happen to the cutter Answer as cutter motor with high power and speed so the cutting speed shall be adjusted according to size of character Generally to cut small glossy characters with high requirement for precision the speed shall not exceed 40 In most cases the speed at the shift 50 60 is favorable To cut big characters of large quantity within shortest time the speed can be 70 180 but since step distance of motor is so long that evident zigzag occur Therefore you should set the speed to specific size of characters and the relationship between speed and size of characters please refer to following table Size of font mm SPEED lt 10 10 20 10 30 30 50 40 50 50 500 ae a 7 4 Question why do the paper deviate when it runs by a large margin Answer the paper feed bracket containing paper roll shall be completely parallel to paperweight wheel for big roll of materials loosen it prior graving to prevent excessive obstruction when plotting or graving For the machines with four paperweight wheels when plotting big image or characters back and forth use the two paperweight wheels at sides instead of press the four down simultaneously Unequal abrasion of the two wheels also may result in deviation of the paper in worse case replacing wheels is needed 7 5 Question why does lock up happen in plotting output Answ
