Setting Cutter Driver Options

The Cutter Driver Options allow you to control the parameters of operation of your output device such as cut speed and pressure, or execute common tasks (roll forward, roll backward, go to origin) from your computer.

To access the Cutter Driver Options, click Cutter Options in the Cut tab of the Job Properties dialog.

Make sure nobody is around the output device when sending the macros, since the cutter may move and injure the operator.

The settings available in the Cutter Driver Options vary according to your output device.

Each command has a checkbox to enable or disable it. When enabled, you can change the value, and the command is sent to the output device, overriding the settings in the output device. When the option is unchecked, the settings from the output device are used.

Delete	Deletes the selected command from the list (you can only delete commands added using the save command).
Reset	Reverts all settings to its default settings (any custom commands added by the user are deleted).
Before Job	Defines commands that are sent before the job is processed.
Cut Fast / Medium / Slow / None	Defines a series of settings for fast, medium and slow cutting speeds. To use all settings from the output device, select None.
Pressure / Force	Defines the pressure of the knife.
Speed	Defines the traveling speed of the head.
Tool	Defines the tool when several tools are available or switch between cut and plot.
After Job	Defines commands that are sent after the job is processed.
