General Operation:

Loading Paper:

Before loading remember to clear the “TOT.COPIES” and “TOT.m(’)” parameters. See “Cutting Parameters” below.
To load paper pull up on the silver bar on one side until it pops out.
Loosen grub screw on spool end, load paper and tighten screw.
Care must be taken as not to break the plastic spool and to ensure the roll sits snug between the spool ends.
Once the paper is loaded keep the door open and turn on the machine, this will open the gate.
Feed paper through gate. Ensure paper is even.
Close and lock lid, press “CUT”.
It is best to keep the lights off and start cutting however if you wish to turn on the lights ensure the cutter has cleared the gate and the gate is completely shut.
If you are confronted with an “Incomplete Loading” message make sure the lid is shut correctly and operate the cutter to recover machine state.
If you think you may have fogged paper open the lid and feed fogged section through the gate. close the lid and press cut.

Cutting Operation:

To reset “Q.TY” parameter enter desired number manually or simply re-select the channel to load from memory
When you have reached the end of the roll press the “Start” button to stop operation.

Cutting Parameters:

“T.COPIES” and “TOT.m(’)” display the total copies and total meters cut since last reset. These metrics must be reset independently at the beginning of each roll. To do so display the metric then hold the “0(C)” key until it reads “0000”.
The snowflake button controls the brightness of the screen. Accepts any value between 0 and 9. Press “ENTER” to put it in memory.
“Q.TY” quantity. Sets the cut sheet counter.
“SIZE”: Input in mm unless pcb switch set to inches.
“SPEED” accepts any value between 0 and 9. Sets the speed of the stepper motor. Controls how fast it feeds through the gate.
“AUT.MAN” toggle between automatic or manual mode. Automatic feeds and cuts until the counter has run out. Manual mode requires you to feed with the “START” button and cut with “CUT”.
