Cutter driver options

This set of controls allows you to set a number of cutter-related output options, such as cutting speed and pressure. Different cutter options can be specified for each color in the design.

To edit the cutter driver options for a given color, select the color in the list and click Edit. (See "Setting Cutter Driver Options" below for more information.)

Check Use same driver options for all colors to force all of the colors to use the same cutter driver options.

To disable a color from being output, click on the knife icon to the left of the color. A red X will appear over the knife icon, indicating that it will not be cut. To re-enable the color to be output, click on it again to clear the red X.

Passes

Defines the number of times that the blade will cut the same path. Set this option if you are using thick or hard media that can't be cut in a single pass.
