When using roll material, before you perform cutting you need to pull out the
required length of material from the roll.
For more information, refer to “Material Test Feed” in “4-5 Starting Cutting”.
4-2 Installing a Blade
Do not touch the tip of the blade
with your fingers.
Doing so may result in injury, and the
cutting performance of the blade will be
impaired.
Be sure to support the tool mounting screw from below when installing the blade holder. If installed without
supporting the screw in this way, the blade tip may strike the blade protector, damaging the blade or blade
protector and impairing cutting quality.

(2) Support the tool securing screw from below and
install the blade holder. Insert the blade holder
until the collar is flush with the carriage.
(3) Tighten the tool securing screw until the blade
holder is secured in place.
When you're using general sign material, use with the cap tightened all the way to the top (maximum amount of blade
extension: 2.5 mm). When cutting material whose carrier paper is thin with respect to the adhesive layer (that is, the
material thickness), or when performing half-cutting for material with no carrier paper, adjust the blade tip so that the
tip does not pierce the carrier paper. For more information, see “5-1 Detailed Cutting-condition Settings.”
4-3 Adjusting the Blade Force and Cutting Speed
Before carrying out actual cutting, you may wish to perform a "cutting test” to check whether the unit produces the cutout satisfactorily.
The cutting test should be repeated until the appropriate cutting conditions for the material in use are discovered.
Cutting T est
1
Use the [ ], [ ], [ ] and [ ] keys to move the tool
carriage to the place where the cutting test is to be performed.
• Note that an area of approximately 2 square centimeters
(a little less than a square inch) is required to make a test
cutout (given that the tip of the cutter after it has moved
is at the origin at lower-left).
2
Press the [TEST CUT] key for 0.5 seconds or more. After
prefeeding once, cutting test starts.
The resulting cutouts will then appear as illustrated.
(Position of the tool
installed in step 1)
A cutting test (and prefeeding) are not possible immediately after you have used [SELECT SHEET] to choose [R-EDGE].
Use the [
] key to feed the material several centimeters (1 or 2 inches) toward the rear, then execute the cutting test.
You use [R-EDGE] when you are performing front loading. For more information, refer to "5-6 Front Loading."
16
Blade Force
DOWN UP
50cm/s
0.250mm 50gf
3
Check the state of cutting.
(1) Peel off the round section (marked by ).
When it can be peeled by itself, without disturbing the
square (marked by ), the cutter force is set
appropriately.
(2) Remove the square section (marked by ).
The optimum blade pressure is correct if you can clearly
make out the lines left by the blade.
For Materials with a Strong Adhesive Layer
If you are using a material with a strong adhesive layer, the adhesive layer may adhere to itself immediately when cut. This
means that even though the material has actually been cut, it may appear as if it has not been cut, and blade force may
mistakenly be set too high.
If a cutting test shows that the material peels easily and the blade traces on the carrier paper are optimal, then the
material is being cut. Take care not to set the blade force excessively high.
Adjusting the Blade Force
Examine the result of the cutting test and adjust the blade force accordingly.
Setting range: 20 to 350 gf
(in increments
of 10 gf)
After using the control panel to set the blade force, if you want to raise or lower the blade force slightly, you can use the [PEN
FORCE] slider to make fine adjustment.
Move the slider to the right or left to gradually raise or lower the blade force and set it at an appropriate value.
The range of the fine adjustment using the [PEN FORCE] slider is within 30 gf up or down from the value set with the control panel.
When using the control panel to set the blade force, move the [PEN FORCE] slider to its center (default) position.

Incorrect cutting conditions may cause symptoms such as those described below.
4-4 Setting the Origin Point
With the CX-500/400/300, you can set the location where cutting starts (the origin point) at any position.
If the default origin point in effect just after you perform setup by loading material and pressing the [ENTER] key is acceptable, then
there is no need for you to explicitly set the origin point.
Setting the origin point at the point you want on the material lets you start cutting at any location you like, which can help reduce
wasted material.
1
Press the [ ], [ ], [ ] and [ ] keys to move
the blade to the location where you want to set the
origin point.

[Continue cutting]
Press the [PAUSE] key.
Cutting is resumed.
[To Terminate Cutting]
First of all, stop the flow of data being sent by the computer.
Then hold down the [ENTER] key for 0.5 seconds or longer.
Cutting stops and the display returns to the top menu.
To Change the Cutting Speed or Blade Force During Cutting
You can change the settings during cutting by pressing the [SPEED] or [FORCE] key.
You can also perform fine adjustment in blade force while cutting is in progress by using the [PEN FORCE] slider.

4-6 When Cutting is Completed
When not in use for extended
periods, unplug the power cord from
the electrical outlet.
Failure to do so may
result in danger of
shock, electrocution,
or fire due to
deterioration of the
electrical insulation.
Do not leave the tool securing screw tightened. Tightening the screw makes it more difficult to install the
blade holder.
Do not leave the machine with the pinch rollers lowered. The rollers may deform, making normal material
feed impossible.
